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 what’s 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 worker’s 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.
