    Among Wyoming residents, there have now been 24 coronavirus-related deaths, 1,644 lab-confirmed cases and 382 probable cases reported.

    WDH recommendations meant to slow and limit transmission of the virus include:

    • Staying home from work and away from others when ill unless medical care is needed
    • Maintaining physical distancing of 6 feet whenever practical
    • Wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where physical distancing is not reasonable

    Wyoming resident deaths are added to the state’s coronavirus-related death total based on official death certificate information. If the disease did not cause or contribute to the person’s death, that person’s death is not reflected in Wyoming’s count of coronavirus-related deaths even if the person is known to be positive for the virus.
