JACKSON, Wyo. — Two years have passed since Teton County received its first lab-confirmed COVID-19 case.
Last week, the Jackson Town Council and the Teton County Board of County Commissioners officially acknowledged the time, talent and effort that many in the community contributed during the COVID-19 response in Teton County, WY.
“As we move toward the next phase of the COVID-19 pandemic we want to make sure that all of the volunteers, community-based organizations, non-profits, businesses, and community members are officially thanked for all of the time and energy that they have dedicated to keeping our community safe throughout the last two years of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Teton County Health Director, Jodie Pond.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been many changes in business operations and individual adjustments that everyone in the community has had to make while navigating a global pandemic.
“The Teton County Health Department recognizes that it has not been easy, and we want to make sure everyone in the community is thanked,” said TCHD in a statement earlier this week.
“It takes a HOLE community, and we are fortunate to have received the community support throughout the COVID-19 response. We are grateful for our community throughout the last two years. We acknowledge that we may have had a much different outcome in our community without all of our community engagement.”
Over the past two years, in Teton County, 9,851 people have tested positive for the virus; 156,000 people statewide have had COVID.
