The Wyoming Judicial Branch is closely monitoring the outbreak of the novel new coronavirus “COVID-19”. To assure the mission of the courts is met during the virus outbreak, the Wyoming Judicial Branch’s Respiratory Disease Pandemic Plan was adopted on March 11, 2020.
Attorneys, litigants and members of the public who access the courts and who are or may be infected should not hesitate to let the court know of their situation so that appropriate action can be taken. The District and Circuit Courts will be responding to the expected spread of the virus as their circumstances and operations dictate. The Supreme Court will be in contact with the Department of Health and other involved agencies on a constant basis.
