TOOL TO REPORT DENIED TESTING FOR COVID-19 LAUNCHES IN WYOMING<\/p>\n
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/p>\n
1 April 2020<\/p>\n
WYOMING — <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Starting today, any Wyoming residents who experience COVID-19-like symptoms and are unable to get testing will be able to be heard. https:\/\/www.untestedwyoming. <\/p>\n UntestedWyoming comes within a week of the launch of UntestedMontana<\/a>– which has reported 28 untested individuals since Friday. This comes as Rocky Mountain states struggle to obtain test kits and track the spread of the outbreak. Monday morning on a call with President Trump, Governor Bullock (Montana) was heard saying:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Literally we are one day away, if we don\u2019t get test kits from the C.D.C., that we wouldn\u2019t be able to do testing in Montana,”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These fears are compounded by reports that many east-and-west coast families are retreating to the rockies to escape areas of greater outbreak. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Both UntestedMontana and UntestedWyoming were created by Nick Schwaderer, programmer and former two-term legislator for HD-14 in Montana. When asked about the reason for the expansion to Wyoming, Schwaderer said:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThis project was built to be replicable in multiple states. Quite simply, we had an enquiry from Wyoming to launch there as well so we did. We sincerely hope this proves as helpful in Wyoming as it is in Montana,\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ###<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ABOUT UNTESTEDWYOMING & UNTESTEDMONTANA<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These projects are done as part of the Montana Development Auxiliary: https:\/\/www.mtdevaux.com<\/a> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n MTDevAux\u2019s goal is community service through code.
