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 three weeks between 110 and 130. The number of hospitalizations has risen by about 60 in that time. 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 388 patients hospitalized that have either tested positive or are awaiting test results (213). That includes 194 total hospitalizations in Milwaukee County.
121 of the state's 388 hospitalized COVID-19 patients are receiving intensive care (31.2 percent). This is down from yesterday's total of 126.
The state reports the loss of four lives related to COVID-19 in the last 24 hours. That brings the total number of deaths to 514.
At least 213 deaths have been tied to long-term care facilities (41.4 percent) and an additional 23 deaths have occurred in group homes (4.5 percent). 26.3 percent of deaths (135) didn't occur in group housing settings. There are an additional 143 deaths with an unknown origin.
Three of the state's four deaths in the last 24 hours occurred in Racine County. The county has seen an increase in cases recently, surpassing Kenosha on May 8 to have the third highest number of cases behind Milwaukee County and Brown County.
Milwaukee County hasn't reported a death in the last two days.
7,480 new test results came back in the last 24 hours. The average number of new tests performed per day in the last week has been 7,396. This is up from an average of 5,262 new tests per day two weeks ago and 4,250 new tests per day three weeks ago.
The state has 54 active labs with a daily capacity of 14,153 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.
The percent of positive test results in the last 24 hours was 4.1 percent, which is down from yesterday. DHS is watching this for a 14-day downward trajectory.
