Wyoming’s active coronavirus increased 14 on Thursday from Wednesday.
Wyoming Department of Health figures showed that the department received reports of 114 recoveries among those with confirmed or probable cases.
At the same time, the state reported 102 new laboratory-confirmed and 26 new probable cases, leaving Wyoming with 580 active cases.
Laramie County continued to have the highest number of active cases in the state at 309. Sweetwater had 44; Natrona 42; Albany 30; Carbon 22; Uinta 20; Platte 18; Lincoln 15; Fremont 14; Campbell and Teton 10; Sheridan eight; Converse seven; Big Horn and Weston six; Park five; Crook three; Goshen, Hot Springs, Johnson, Sublette and Washakie two, and Niobrara County had one.
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 62,865 the number of people diagnosed with coronavirus since the first case was detected in Wyoming in March 2020.
Of those, 61,543 have recovered.
