Dr. Alexia Harrist, the Wyoming State Health Officer, explained how “contact tracing” works…
When someone tests positive, social isolation and quarantine orders are imposed to limit the spread of the virus to other members of the community.
It will also be invaluable in future containment of the virus as the state moves forward in its economic and social recovery.
