eston County residents have
a great deal to be proud of in
controlling the spread of the
coronavirus, COVID-19. We continue
to maintain the status of no confirmed
positive cases, as of the time of this
writing. Luck has nothing to do with this
status. The fact that we do not have cases
in Weston County is due to community
effort put forth by observing the public
health preventive measure. The status of
COVID-l9 in the state of Wyoming, as
well as Weston County, are being noticed
around the country. We are a
shining example for modeling
what can be done to stop com-
munity transmission.
At the present there is
no proven medical regimen
to treat COVID-19 and no
vaccine to prevent the virus
from infecting the population.
well as a vaccine. Remdesivir,
developed by Gilead Sciences
Inc., is an investigational
broad-spectrum antiviral treatment admin-
istered via daily infusion for 10 days.
It has shown promise in animal models
for treating COVID-l9 infection and has
been examined in various clinical trials.
Scientists are working hard on developing
a vaccine to prevent the spread of the
virus. Remdesivir has been authorized for
emergency use in the United States.
There are eight different pharmaceu-
tical companies that are working on a
vaccine to prevent COVID—19. The more
companies that get involved with vaccine
development, the moreppportunities for
success and the ability to manufacture
more doses to meet demand. The avail-
ability of a vaccine is projected for
January 2021. It will take time to produce
a vaccine that is safe and effective. Until
there is an effective treatment or vaccine,
what we have to protect us are public
health prevention measures to reduce
the spread of the virus. Public health

measures include social distancing, hand
washing, hand sanitizer and avoiding
touching our face, as well as wearing a
mask in public when you cannot maintain
the six-foot social distancing guideline.
Social distancing of at least six feet
from other people and frequent hand
washing are the keys to reducing the
spread of COVID-l9. Although we do
not have confirmed positive cases in
Weston County, we cannot lose sight of
the fact that people can be a carrier of the
virus and not have symptoms. Social dis-
tancing is not about the indi-
vidual as much as it is about
reducing community transmis-
sion of the virus. It’s very
important to wash our hands
frequently and thoroughly for
at least 20 seconds.
If you are having problems
not touching your face, you are

23 times in one hour and are
not consciously aware that
we are doing it. The struggle
is very real, but do the best you can and
wash your hands often.
The wearing of masks is not a substi-
tute for social distancing. The person who
is wearing the mask is protecting others
from their respiratory droplets being
transmitted through coughing, sneezing
and talking. The skin on our face can be
very sensitive. If you are experiencing
sensitivity, using moisturizer on your face
can help reduce the itching that may be
caused by wearing the mask.
Having a greater awareness of our
overall physical health and emotional
wellbeing is instrumental in maintaining
our resilience and keeps our immune
system strong. Most of us neglect our
mental health until it starts to affect our
physical health. We can use the crisis
we are facing as an opportunity to make
lifestyle changes'to stay healthy.
The COVID-l9 pandemic has created
a great deal of stressors in our lives, and

County’s residents should be proud
it should be acknowledged. It is an ever-
evolving situation with much uncertainty.
There is a range of emotions that people
are experiencing including sadness, loneli-
ness, depression, anxiety, and anger. We
can be experiencing a number of these
feelings at once. All of these feelings are
valid. Using positive coping mechanism
will help keep us healthy.
It’s important to realize what you can
control and to let go of what you can’t.
You can focus on how well you follow
the CDC guidelines, your own social dis-
tancing, turning off the news and limiting
social media. What you can’t control is
how long the pandemic will last, if others
follow the rules of social distancing, the
reaction or actions of others, or predic—
tions of what will happen. Stay in touch
with family, friends and coworkers! Keep
your routines in place, such as going
to bed and getting up at the same time.
Getting restorative sleep is critical to
maintaining your health. If you are feeling
overwhelmed and need professional help,
Northern Wyoming Mental Health staff is
ready and available to assist you.
For your physical health, it’s important
to get plenty of exercise and eat healthy
meals. When the weather allows, go
outside and enjoy the sunshine! You
can go for a walk, ride your bike, work
in your yard or garden. Prepare healthy
meals that include whole grains, veg-
etables, fruit and lean meat. Limit frozen
dinners —— they are high in sodium, fat
and calories.

country concem people not seeking

exposed to COVID-19. Our hospital,
clinics and ambulance services in Weston
County are ready and able to provide safe
care to those who are in need of services.
If you are experiencing complications

seeking medical care. Medical emergen-
cies still exist regardless of COVID-19.
