The department’s regular coronavirus update said it received 446 reports of new laboratory-confirmed cases Wednesday, along with 89 reports of new probable cases.

At the same time, the number of reported recoveries among those with confirmed or probable cases grew by 163, leaving the state with 4,034 active cases, an increase of 372 from Tuesday.

The number of people hospitalized in Wyoming for treatment of coronavirus went down by two Wednesday to total 208.
