CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming has identified the first case of a state resident who has the new coronavirus.
The Wyoming Department of Health says in a statement Wednesday night that preliminary testing found a woman from Sheridan County who had recently traveled inside the United States has the virus.
The department says it is following up to learn more details about the person’s exposure risk and to identify and communicate with anyone who may have been in close contact with the patient.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will conduct more tests to confirm that the woman has the virus.
