As mentioned in an earlier blog post, Yellowstone National Park will be reopening next week on a limited basis with only the Wyoming entrances being open.
The National Park Service has some safety tips on visiting Yellowstone as we enter the post-coronavirus period.
Fox News reported:
Ah, there’s nothing like the great outdoors.
Yellowstone National Park will reopen its Wyoming entrances on Monday in the first phase of its careful reopening, but visitors will have to heed some new guidance in the fight against COVID-19, the National Park Service (NPS) said.
The iconic park has been closed to the public since March 24 amid the coronavirus crisis, and will once again welcome the public in select areas of its 2.2 million acreage starting next week.
Ahead of the reopening, an NPS spokesperson told Fox News that protecting the health and safety of visitors, volunteers, partners and employees remains "paramount." The park service will follow public health guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to monitor changing conditions in the reopened areas. Moving forward, the NPS may expand, adjust, or contract operations if necessary, they added.
