Wyoming’s active coronavirus count increased by 97 on Thursday.
The Wyoming Department of Health received reports of 508 recoveries among those with confirmed or probable cases on Thursday.
At the same time, the state reported 461 new laboratory-confirmed and 144 new probable cases, leaving Wyoming with 3,662 active cases.
Thirteen counties had more than 100 active cases, with seven having more than 200.
Natrona County had 738; Laramie 305; Campbell 301; Freemont 291; Sheridan 246; Goshen 212; Uinta 199; Park 195; Sweetwater 162; Albany and Washakie 136; Lincoln 119; Converse 96; Carbon 95; Big Horn 71; Sublette 66; Platte 65; Teton 63; Weston 52; Crook 35; Johnson 33; Niobrara had 30, while Hot Springs reported the fewest active cases with 16.
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 96,664 the number of people diagnosed with coronavirus since the first case was detected in Wyoming in March 2020. Of those, 91,992 have recovered.
