JACKSON, Wyo. — It was only a short month ago that testing site lines stood 30-people long, and it seemed that the “testing negative, staying positive” mantra was out the window.
But since Jan. 10, which marked Teton County’s infection peak of 203 new cases in a single day, high case metrics have drastically reversed. At its peak, Jackson Hole led the nation in cases per capita.
On Feb. 13, the Wyoming Department of Health reported just two new COVID-19 cases in Teton County, a notable drop from the month prior.
New COVID cases began to drop beginning Jan. 15 and have plummeted ever since. New daily cases are back to the averages seen in summer 2021.
In Teton County, there is currently a test positivity rate of 7.5% according to the Health Department. Meaning, 7.5 percent of tests over the last two weeks have been positive.
Currently, St. John’s reports one COVID-19 patient in the intensive care unit and three COVID-19 patients in the primary care unit.
