Based on the incubation period of the virus and the time it takes to turn around test results, we won't see new infections that could be connected to the lifting of the statewide "Safer at Home" order until at least Wednesday, May 20.
Here's a look at the number of cases resulting in hospitalizations and intensive care, which indicates the trends of the most severe cases. Keep in mind this data is provided voluntarily through the state's Healthcare Emergency Readiness Coalition so this is not completely comprehensive.
Both current hospitalizations and intensive care patients are up from yesterday. There are currently 363 patients hospitalized. This is up from yesterday's total of 361. 182 of those individuals are awaiting test results.
131 of the state's 363 hospitalized COVID-19 patients have received intensive care (36.1 percent). This is up from yesterday's total of 129.
The state did not report the loss of any additional lives in the last 24 hours.
5,824 new test results came back in the last 24 hours. We'll continue to see an uptick in incoming tests as community testing events in the hardest hit areas have continued this week, including Milwaukee, Dane and Brown Counties.
The state has 52 active labs with a daily capacity of 13,392 tests.
The percent of positive test results in the last 24 hours was 6.1 percent, which is down from yesterday. DHS is watching this in hopes to see a 14-day downward trajectory.
