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.
The number of active coronavirus cases in Wyoming climbed by 407 on Sunday as the state reported 572 new laboratory-confirmed cases.
The Wyoming Department of Health, in its daily coronavirus update, also said 41 new probable cases were reported Sunday, while reports of recoveries from the illness increased by 206.

Every Wyoming county but Park reported new laboratory-confirmed cases Sunday. Laramie County had the highest number of new cases at 103, while Natrona Count had 93.
The increase in confirmed cases brought to 19,298 the number of laboratory-confirmed cases seen since the first coronavirus case was detected in Wyoming in mid-March.
