Summary:
- State meets five of the six gating criteria in the Badger Bounce Back Plan guiding us towards Phase #1 of the plan.
- Over half of the newly confirmed cases in today's report are in Milwaukee County. The county had 146 new cases in today's report, compared to 145 new cases in the rest of the state.
- 4,654 new test results are in today's report, which is about average compared to the number of new tests in the last week (4,404 average). Expect a big increase in incoming tests in the next few days as more community testing sites opened across the state starting Monday. We'll probably see those numbers reflected in data starting tomorrow.

The University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) updated it's model yesterday to reflect the how the virus has spread with the real incoming data. The model projects 791 total deaths in the state by Aug. 4, assuming the Safer at Home order runs through at least Aug. 1.
Over half of the newly confirmed cases are in Milwaukee County. The county had 146 new cases in today's report, compared to 145 new cases in the rest of the state.
4,654 new test results came back in the last 24 hours. Expect a big increase in incoming tests in the next few days as more community testing sites opened across the state starting Monday.
The state has 51 active labs with a daily capacity of 13,795 tests.
The percent of positive test results in the last 24 hours was 6.3 percent, which is up from yesterday. DHS is tracking this for a 14-day downward trajectory. This gating criteria item as part of the Badger Bounce Back Plan is currently met.
Here's a look at the number of cases resulting in hospitalizations and intensive care, which gives us a picture of the most severe cases. Keep in mind this data is provided voluntarily so this is not completely comprehensive.
