Wisconsin reports 22 more COVID-19 deaths, 599 new cases
MADISON, Wis. (WBAY) - Wisconsin saw its coronavirus reporting numbers rise in every category Wednesday, for better and for worse. The state reported 22 more COVID-19 patients' deaths since its report Tuesday afternoon. The state never reported so many COVID-19 deaths in one day. That brings the state's death toll to 539.
After days of declining new case numbers, the state identified 599 more patients with the coronavirus, bringing the state's total to 16,462 cases since early February. That also is the largest one-day increase in the state's reporting, and only the third time the state identified more than 500 patients in a day.
Milwaukee and Racine counties accounted for the bulk of new patients identified, with 231 and 184 new cases, respectively, but half of Wisconsin's 72 counties saw new, positive test results since Tuesday (county-by-county numbers are listed below).
That may be attributed to increased testing. Positive results were 5.8% of the 10,330 test results. That's the first time the state received more than 10,000 test results in a 24-hour period. After days of decline, that was a jump of 2.2 percentage points from Tuesday but is still in line with the percentage of positive results over the past month.
