In today's Wisconsin Department of Health Services' daily report on COVID-19, there are 374 new confirmed cases out of a total of 10,522 tests performed in the last day. The state now has a total of 18,917 cases.
As it stands today, Milwaukee County has 42.3 percent of the state's confirmed cases (8,004 out of a total of 18,917) and 50.9 percent of the deaths (309 out of a total of 607).
There are 12 new deaths in the report for a total of 607 deaths statewide.
Here's a look at the number of cases resulting in hospitalizations and intensive care, which indicates the trends of the most severe cases.
There are currently 388 patients hospitalized that have tested positive. 194 of the hospitalized patients are in Milwaukee County. 209 patients statewide are awaiting test results.
139 of the state's 388 hospitalized COVID-19 patients are receiving intensive care (35.8 percent). This is up from yesterday's total of 136.
The state reports the loss of 12 additional lives related to COVID-19 in the last 24 hours. That brings the total number of deaths to 607.

The state has 58 active labs with a daily capacity of 14,755 tests.
Tests in the state have become much more widely available. 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.
Tied to the test rate is the percent of positive test results.
