CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming will again extend public health orders to contain the coronavirus amid a resurgence of the illness.

Gov. Mark Gordon announced Monday the latest orders set to expire Wednesday will now be in effect through the end of July.

Gordon says he's disappointed to see case numbers rise in Wyoming.

The statewide orders prohibit more than 50 people at a time from gathering in confined spaces without restrictions.

A range of exceptions include grocery stories and people traveling in groups to work.

Up to 500 participants and audience members may attend events with adequate social-distancing and sanitizing measures.
