The Wisconsin Department of Health Services reported the biggest single day jump in laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases in the state with 128 new cases, up to a total of 585 cases statewide.
1,852 new test results came in during the last 24 hours. A total of 10,089 tests have been performed so far.
Because of a shortage of testing supplies, labs have been instructed to limit testing based on a four-tiered system. Limited testing makes it difficult to determine just how widespread the disease is within the state.
The state's data is current as of 9 p.m. on the previous day, which explains why Milwaukee County's "COVID-19 Dashboard" shows a higher number of confirmed cases. Milwaukee County's most recent data as of 2:30 p.m. today indicates 35 additional confirmed cases in the county.
Two new deaths have been attributed to COVID-19 in the state in the last 24 hours. Dane County reported its first death attributed to COVID-19 and Milwaukee County reported its fourth death. ]Ozaukee County and Fond du Lac County have also reported deaths.
Three new counties were added to the list of counties with at least one confirmed case: Grant, Iowa and Monroe. That list stands at 33 of the state's 72 counties.
