Wyoming’s active coronavirus case count increased by five on Tuesday.
Wyoming Department of Health figures showed that the department received reports of 293 recoveries among those with confirmed or probable cases.
At the same time, the state reported 180 new laboratory-confirmed and 187 new probable cases, leaving Wyoming with 2,614 active cases for Tuesday.
Eleven counties had more than 100 active cases, with three having more than 200. Natrona County had 469; Laramie 350; Fremont 223; Sheridan 187; Campbell 172; Uinta 154; Albany and Sweetwater 131; Goshen 113; Park 103; Lincoln 90; Carbon 84; Weston 75; Converse 59; Teton 55; Washakie 51; Platte 40; Crook 36; Sublette 25; Johnson 22; Big Horn 20; Niobrara had 17, while Hot Springs reported seven active cases.
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 103,989 the number of people diagnosed with coronavirus since the first case was detected in Wyoming in March 2020. Of those, 100,132 have recovered.
