Wyoming Department of Health figures showed that the department received reports of 1,504 recoveries among those with confirmed or probable cases from Saturday through Monday.
At the same time, the state reported 1,364 new laboratory-confirmed and 298 new probable cases, leaving Wyoming with 3,085 active cases for Monday.
Five counties have more than 200 active cases and nine have more than 100. Teton County had 618; Laramie 555; Natrona 363; Albany 340; Uinta 226; Campbell 164; Fremont 146; Sweetwater 138; Sheridan 132; Lincoln 72; Park 70; Carbon 58; Johnson 45; Converse and Goshen 34; Crook 18; Washakie 17; Platte and Sublette 16; Weston nine; Big Horn had eight, while Niobrara and Hot Springs reported three.
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 121,519 the number of people diagnosed with coronavirus since the first case was detected in Wyoming in March 2020.
Of those, 116,862 have recovered.
