On Monday, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services reported the state had 4,360 new confirmed cases of COVID-19, bringing the total number of active cases to 59,088. The state has averaged 5,639 new cases per day in the last week.
Although the number of new cases in the last two days has been lower than we've seen in the last week, we typically see a dip on Sundays and Mondays because some labs aren't open over the weekend.
The patient has recovered in about 77% of those cases (210,318 cases). Patients who are deemed as recovered either no longer exhibit the symptoms of COVID-19 or 30 days has passed since they tested positive. In the remaining cases, the patient is deceased.
Below we've pulled out cases data for Milwaukee County. The county has averaged more than 800 new cases per day in the last week.

The state can currently handle a capacity of 59,155 tests daily spread across 127 labs. An additional 18 labs are being on-boarded.
Anyone who wants a test should be able to get one, either from their primary care physician or one of a number of community testing sites. If you are exhibiting any of these symptoms, it is recommended that you get tested. Here are your options:
- Contact your primary care doctor and ask to be tested.
- Complete an online health screening assessment, and a licensed health practitioner will contact you.
- See if a community testing site is available near you.
As continues to be the case, the best way to protect yourself from COVID-19 is to limit time in public places where you could be exposed to people outside your household. If you need to be in public, please practice social distancing (space of more than 6 ft. between you and others), wear a mask or face covering when possible and practice good hygiene (washing hands after any exposure events may have taken place).
