But the overall number of people hospitalized with the virus at CRMC has declined markedly from about a month ago when 57 people were hospitalized with the coronavirus.
Governor Mark Gordon announced on Tuesday that Wyoming guard members would be assigned to help hospitals across Wyoming cope with surging COVID-19 cases.
The latest numbers also continued a trend of a large majority--but not all--of the COVID patients at CRMC being people who were not fully vaccinated against the virus.
Chapman said federal statistics show that people who are vaccinated are ten times less likely to die or become seriously ill from the virus, and five times less likely to become infected at all.
