A Goshen County woman who had health conditions that put her at greater risk of serious illness from COVID-19 died recently, the health department said. She had not been hospitalized.

In addition, two Wyoming residents who died last month in long-term care facilities have been added to the state’s total, which is now at 33.

An older Sheridan County man died in July after being exposed to the virus at a Montana long-term care facility.

That same month, a Platte County man died in a Florida long-term care facility. He is being added to Wyoming’s total due to his residency, the health department said.

At the same time, a man who died in a Sheridan County hospital recently will not be added to Wyoming’s fatality list because it was determined he was not a state resident.

Wyoming has one of the nation’s lowest death rates due to coronavirus, according to a New York Times count.
