How to read Covid data now

Higher test positivity rates are a sign that many infections are not reported — even if they are tested for at home. This results in a more severe undercount of cases. The number of hospitalized patients with Covid is a more reliable measure because testing is more consistent in hospitals. Read more about the data.

This calendar shows data through 2022 and will no longer be updated in 2023. The Times will continue to report the data for other displays on this page.

About the data

In data for Wyoming, The Times primarily relies on reports from the state. The state updates its data once a week. It released new data daily until February 2021, on all weekdays until March 2022, and on Tuesdays and Fridays until April 2022. The state reports cases and deaths based on a person’s permanent or usual residence.

The Times has identified reporting anomalies or methodology changes in the data.

More about reporting anomalies or changes
  • Nov. 11, 2022: The Times began including death certificate data reconciled by the C.D.C., resulting in a one-day increase in total deaths.
  • Jan. 17, 2022: Wyoming did not announce new cases and deaths for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday.
  • Dec. 31, 2021: Wyoming did not announce new cases and deaths for the New Year's holiday.
  • Dec. 24, 2021: Wyoming did not announce new cases and deaths for the Christmas holiday.
  • Nov. 25, 2021: Wyoming did not announce new cases and deaths for the Thanksgiving holiday.
  • Nov. 11, 2021: Wyoming did not announce new data because of the Veterans Day holiday.
  • Sept. 6, 2021: The daily count could be artificially low because many jurisdictions did not announce new data on Labor Day.
  • Jan. 23, 2021: Wyoming did not announce new data because of system maintenance.
  • Nov. 27, 2020: Wyoming reported data for Nov. 26 and Nov. 27 after reporting no data on Thanksgiving.
  • Aug. 10, 2020: Wyoming removed 40 probable cases after reviewing records.
  • April 9, 2020: Wyoming began reporting probable cases and deaths.

The tallies on this page include probable and confirmed cases and deaths.

Confirmed cases and deaths, which are widely considered to be an undercount of the true toll, are counts of individuals whose coronavirus infections were confirmed by a molecular laboratory test. Probable cases and deaths count individuals who meet criteria for other types of testing, symptoms and exposure, as developed by national and local governments.

Governments often revise data or report a single-day large increase in cases or deaths from unspecified days without historical revisions, which can cause an irregular pattern in the daily reported figures. The Times is excluding these anomalies from seven-day averages when possible. For agencies that do not report data every day, variation in the schedule on which cases or deaths are reported, such as around holidays, can also cause an irregular pattern in averages. The Times uses an adjustment method to vary the number of days included in an average to remove these irregularities.
