Wyoming Department of Health figures showed that the department received reports of 71 new recoveries among those with confirmed or probable cases Friday.
At the same time, the state reported 53 new laboratory-confirmed and 11 new probable cases, leaving Wyoming with 461 active cases.

Niobrara County had no active cases Friday.
Active cases are determined by adding the total confirmed and probable coronavirus cases diagnosed since the illness first surfaced in Wyoming on March 12, 2020, subtracting the number of recoveries during the same period among patients with both confirmed and probable cases and taking into account the number of deaths attributed to the illness.
The new confirmed and probable cases brought to 57,267 the number of people diagnosed with coronavirus since the first case was detected in Wyoming in March 2020.
Of those, 56,103 have recovered.
