The Wyoming Department of Health reported that of the 120 cases, at least 26 patients have made a full recovery.
Dr. Alexia Harrist, the state’s health officer, said during a news conference Monday that rapid increases seen in coronavirus counts are due to increased testing along with the spread of the disease.
Since COVID-19 reached the state, the Wyoming Public Health Lab has completed 1,563 tests while private commercial laboratories have completed 634, according to the Health Department.
