Wyoming’s active coronavirus case count decreased by 43 on Tuesday from Friday.
Wyoming Department of Health figures showed that the department received reports of 101 recoveries among those with confirmed or probable cases from Saturday through Tuesday.
At the same time, the state reported 40 new laboratory-confirmed and 16 new probable cases, leaving the state with 60 active cases.
Laramie County had 17; Natrona seven; Albany and Teton six; Sweetwater five; Weston four; Uinta three; Fremont, Lincoln and Sheridan two; Campbell, Carbon, Crook, Goshen, Niobrara, and Platte had one, while Big Horn, Converse, Hot Springs, Johnson, Park, Sublette and Washakie, all reported no 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 156,112 the number of people diagnosed with coronavirus since the first case was detected in Wyoming in March 2020. Of those, 154,262 have recovered.
