May 4, 2020 A special coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) testing study involving patients and staff at the Wyoming State Hospital (WSH) in Evanston found no new cases, the Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) announced today.
A “Community Protection Initiative” team from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently visited WSH, a state-run psychiatric facility and part of WDH, during their efforts that included support for infection control procedures.
As an opportunity for more in-depth follow up, the CDC recommended what’s known as a point prevalence survey, which involves testing a large number of people within a limited time period.
