A record 31,756 Wisconsin residents have tested positive for the disease in the past week. Since the pandemic began 238,067 people have tested positive.

The Wisconsin Hospital Association reported Monday that a record 1,614 people are actively hospitalized with a confirmed case of the disease. The figure is scheduled to be updated at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, after this article was published.
Seven patients are in the Alternate Care Facility in West Allis, down from a record 13 yesterday.
DHS reported 52 deaths Tuesday. A total of 2,102 Wisconsin residents have died as a result of the virus, including 599 in Milwaukee County. Officials confirmed last week that the total includes only people where a medical examiner determined the disease was a contributing factor in the death.

According to DHS data, 4,758.7 out of every 100,000 Milwaukee County residents have tested positive for COVID-19 since the outbreak began (up from 4,661.7).
The statewide average of cases per 100,000 residents rose to 4,118.1 (up from 4,018.2). Wisconsin has recorded a per-capita rate of 891.7 cases per 100,000 residents in the past two weeks according to the DHS activity level report released Wednesday.
