5,477 New COVID-19 Cases in Past Week
Weekly total is now barely more than daily average in November.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services reported 503 new COVID-19 cases Sunday from 4,186 processed tests.
The weekly case total is now lower than past single day totals. But still at a point higher than any week before the middle of July.
The seven-day case total stands at 5,477, below November 18th’s record report of 45,946 and its lowest point since September 4th. The seven-day testing total stands at 35,078, below November 18th’s record rolling total of 133,019 tests. The testing total is filtered to only include individuals who were tested for the first time or have been tested previously but are receiving their first positive diagnosis.
Officials have looked for the positive case rate to trend downward to indicate a slowing spread of disease and sufficient testing. Multiple public health benchmarks call for the positive case rate figure to be sustained under five percent. But the seven-day average hasn’t been below 10% since September 6th.
The Wisconsin Hospital Association reported that 399 people were actively hospitalized with a confirmed case of the disease, a decrease of 22 from a day prior and 171 from a week ago. Thirty days ago the total was 953.
The state reported 34 people were newly hospitalized in the past 24 hours in its daily data release. A total of 25,302 people have required hospitalization since the outbreak began, 417 in the past week.
DHS reported one new death. A total of 6,162 Wisconsin residents have died as a result of the virus, including 1,188 in Milwaukee County.
The 30-day average daily death total now stands at 28, below the December 23rd reported record of 53.43. Thirty days ago the rolling average was 37.53.
Menominee County has recorded 18,073.9 cases per 100,000 residents (no change). Dodge County has recorded 12,679.8 cases per 100,000 residents (up from 12,678.7). Jackson, Shawano, Trempealeau, Brown, Fond du Lac, Oconto, Sheboygan, Kewaunee, Barron, Chippewa, Calumet, Outagamie and Juneau are the remaining counties leading Milwaukee.
According to DHS data, 10,270.8 out of every 100,000 Milwaukee County residents have tested positive for COVID-19 since the outbreak began (up from 10,261.5).
The statewide average of cases per 100,000 residents rose to 9,605.6 (up from 9,596.9). Wisconsin has recorded a per-capita rate of 265.1 cases per 100,000 residents in the past two weeks according to the DHS activity level report released Wednesday. A record 1,519.4 was reported November 18th.
