Public Health: ‘We are at a turning point’ with epidemic spread – Bookrell


Jackson, Vio. – It’s a day of murder or two or more. 24 to 48 hours after you first make a covid contract, you won’t know it. You will feel better. You will go out. You will infect 2-3 more (average) and the virus stays in the new host. Most young and strong enough to fight it. Others, not so much.

This is how the epidemic hangs. He observes his time. He waits for the invitation – that moment of carelessness.

With the number of hospital admissions, the total number of new cases, contact tracing and the growing community, the bad news is that we’re back in the “red.”

“We’re at a turning point for our community,” said Jody Pond, the county’s health director. “We ask all community members to reduce their viral actions by reducing the amount of movement around the community.”

The Tetan County Health Department announced today that the disruption trend means the community is now turning to a higher risk level, or red.

“This means there is a widespread transition to Covid-19 in our community and there is stress on our healthcare system,” said Rachel Wheeler, Response Coordinator for the Teton County Health Department, said Rachel Wheeler, Response Coordinator for the Teton County Health Department. “Furthermore, we are currently making maximum use of our contact tracing capabilities.”

“Over the past week, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in COVID-19 activity in Teton County, Wyoming,” said Travis Riedel, Teton District Health Officer, MPH, MDH. We have created new records daily for new cases (incidence of this virus) and current active cases (prevalence of this virus). Together with the ongoing outbreak in the Living Center, this is putting significant strain on our healthcare system. ”

Despite easing some restrictions, Tetan County has the unique burden of hosting millions of visitors from around the country as a world-famous tourist destination – an industry that has barely slowed down in recent months.

However, the matrix indicates that the locals are giving each other COVID.

According to Lake, the latest data suggests that people are getting covid from people they know, not strangers.

“When people choose to visit with friends or visit family and friends, they may inadvertently spread COVID-19. The 24-48-hour window before a person starts showing symptoms can be when they are highly contagious.

The Teton County Health Department says the following guidelines are in place and are especially important as we enter the cold season where more time is spent indoors in nearby residences:

  • When entering buildings, wear masks while standing in lines or in places where a physical distance of 6 feet cannot be maintained.
  • Stay home when you are sick despite mild signs and symptoms.
  • Reduce your trips to grocery stores, post office fees or other errors.
  • Keep the size of the groups small and make sure that the physical space is maintained.
  • Wash your hands frequently.
  • Follow statewide and county-wide health commands, recommendations and guidelines.
  • Work from home if possible.
  • Limit contact with others outside of school and work outside of your immediate family.
