Each of the seven new cases is located in Fremont County in west-central Wyoming, and is directly connected to the first Fremont County case announced on March 13. The total number of Wyoming cases is now 10.
WDH is continuing to follow up regarding exposure risks of the new cases and will work to identify and communicate with anyone who may have been in close contact with them. Known contacts will be monitored for symptoms and tested if needed.
