Editor’s Note: This is a map of the active coronavirus cases in each county across Wyoming. The number of active cases is determined by subtracting the total number of recoveries seen since the illness first reached Wyoming in mid-March from the total number of confirmed and probable cases diagnosed during the same time period and taking into account deaths related to the disease.

After several days of declines, the number of active coronavirus cases in Wyoming went up by 34 on Sunday with new cases reported in 14 counties.
