CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A Wyoming Department of Health employee working with computer code accidentally released COVID-19 test results for one-quarter of the state's residents as well as associated names, addresses, birth dates and other information, the department announced Tuesday.

The employee also inadvertently released law enforcement blood alcohol test information for thousands of others going back to 2012.
