In today's Wisconsin Department of Health Services' daily report on COVID-19, there are 528 new confirmed cases for a total of 13,413 cases statewide. DHS reported the loss of 14 additional lives to COVID-19, up to 481 total deaths.
Based on the incubation period of COVID-19 and the length of time it takes to turn around test results, we're starting to enter the window of time when new cases could be traced back to the state Supreme Court's removal of the statewide "Safer at Home" order last Wednesday.

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. 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.
The number of hospitalized patients has grown each of the last eight days. There are currently 399 patients hospitalized. 180 patients are hospitalized with tests pending.
127 of the state's 399 hospitalized COVID-19 patients have received intensive care (31.8 percent). This is down from yesterday's total of 129.
The state reports the loss of 14 additional lives related to COVID-19. That brings the total number of deaths to 481.
At least 199 deaths have been tied to long-term care facilities (41.4 percent) and an additional 20 deaths have occurred in group homes (4.1 percent). These numbers would be higher, but the breakdown of this data started on April 8, so there are 133 deaths that are not tied to long-term care facilities, group homes, workplaces, etc.
6,591 new test results came back in the last 24 hours. This is the highest number of new tests returned on a single day.
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 8 percent, which is up from yesterday and trending int he wrong direction. DHS is watching this for a 14-day downward trajectory.
