3,508 new test results came back in the last 24 hours. This is down 14.3 percent from the average number of tests returned in the last week (4,092 tests daily).

Beyond decreasing the actual number of new cases each day, another criteria in the state's Badger Bounce Back plan is to achieve a downward trajectory in the percentage of positive test results over a 14-day period. The percent of positive test results in the last 24 hours was 7.9 percent, which is up from yesterday because there were 1,500 more test results in yesterday.
