WalletHub reported that as of October 5th, Wyoming was now 7th overall in having the fewest Covid-19 restrictions while only South Dakota, Idaho, Utah, Oklahoma, Iowa, and Wisconsin have even fewer restrictions in their states.

Some key statistics to keep in mind that determined Wyoming's current ranking are as follows (1st = fewest):
