Here's a look at the number of cases resulting in hospitalizations and intensive care, which indicates the trends of the most severe cases. The number of patients receiving intensive care has stayed relatively steady for the last month between 110 and 130. The number of hospitalizations has risen by 100 in the last two weeks. Keep in mind this data is provided voluntarily through the state's Healthcare Emergency Readiness Coalition so this is not completely comprehensive.
There are currently 398 patients hospitalized that have either tested positive or are awaiting test results (220). That includes 192 total hospitalizations in Milwaukee County.
126 of the state's 398 hospitalized COVID-19 patients have received intensive care (31.7 percent). This is down from yesterday's total of 129.
The state reports the loss of six additional lives related to COVID-19. That brings the total number of deaths to 487.
At least 205 deaths have been tied to long-term care facilities (42.1 percent) and an additional 21 deaths have occurred in group homes (4.1 percent). 26.5 percent of deaths (129) didn't occur in group housing settings. There are an additional 132 deaths with an origin that's unknown because this data wasn't tracked before April 8.
9,410 new test results came back in the last 24 hours. This is the highest number of new tests returned on a single day and just over three-quarters of the way to the DHS' goal of testing at a rate of 12,143 tests per day (85,000 tests per week).
The state has 53 active labs with a daily capacity of 14,140 tests.
The percent of positive test results in the last 24 hours was 5 percent, which is down from yesterday. DHS is watching this for a 14-day downward trajectory.
