Wyoming Department of Health figures put the number of active cases at 10,147 on Monday, an increase of 250 from Sunday.

The rise in the active cases was due to the increase in confirmed cases and an increase of 112 probable cases combined with new reports of 449 recoveries.

The number of confirmed cases in Park County was reduced by 32 by the Health Department, the result of a “necessary data correction,” according to department spokeswoman Kim Deti.

The increase in confirmed cases brought the total seen since the first case of COVID-19 was reported in Wyoming in mid-March to 19,885.

The increase in probable cases of 112 brought the total number of probable cases seen since mid-March to 3,308.

The newly reported recoveries mean that 12,902 people diagnosed with either confirmed or probable cases have recovered since mid-March.
