A health-care worker took a covid-19 test and then attended parties. It came back positive.
Speaking at the midweek coronavirus briefing, Mayor Steve Freel of Casper, Wyo., said he might sound a little frustrated.
He had just watched a Facebook video of a party that took place over the weekend showing partygoers flat-out thumbing their noses at public health guidelines, he said. And whats worse: The party was attended by a health-care worker with a pending coronavirus test, as the Casper Star-Tribune earlier reported.
The health-care workers roommate, an employee at the Wyoming Behavioral Institute home to one of the largest clusters of cases in Wyoming had tested positive for the virus last Friday. So, because of evident exposure, the unidentified health-care worker then sought a covid-19 test on that same day.
But despite a self-quarantine recommendation, the worker decided to go to a party on Friday night, Freel said. On Saturday, the worker went to another party.

And that's a rural state.
