566 New COVID-19 Cases
DHS reports 33 COVID-19 deaths.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services reported 566 new COVID-19 cases Tuesday from 3,553 processed tests.
The seven-day case total stands at 4,232, below November 18th’s record report of 45,946 and its lowest point since July 9th. The seven-day testing total stands at 32,035, 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.
The Wisconsin Hospital Association reported that 347 people were actively hospitalized with a confirmed case of the disease, an increase of 1 from a day prior and decrease of 38 from a week ago. Thirty days ago the total was 761.
The state reported 63 people were newly hospitalized in the past 24 hours in its daily data release. A total of 25,838 people have required hospitalization since the outbreak began, 416 in the past week.
DHS reported 33 new deaths. A total of 6,317 Wisconsin residents have died as a result of the virus, including 1,223 in Milwaukee County.
The 30-day average daily death total now stands at 20.87, below the December 23rd reported record of 53.43. Thirty days ago the rolling average was 33.73.
Menominee County has recorded 18,119.6 cases per 100,000 residents. Dodge County has recorded 12,741.4 cases per 100,000 residents (unchanged).
