432 new COVID-19 cases confirmed in Wednesday's report for Wisconsin [View all]

Not good.

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - The state of Wisconsin reported its largest single-day jump in new coronavirus cases in nearly three weeks on Wednesday, which combined with a decline in total tests tallied compared with the previous day, sent the percentage of positive tests soaring.

According to the Department of Health Services daily tracker, the percent-positive spiked to 4.3 percent, the second-highest ratio in the past two weeks. The rate only trailed Sunday, when it reached 4.6 percent, when both the number of tests recorded and confirmed cases were significantly lower.

The 432 new COVID-19 cases confirmed in Wednesday’s report is the highest since Thursday, June 4, when 492 new cases were reported by the agency. Its figures show, in all, 25,763 people in Wisconsin have tested positive for the virus, 3,299 of whom needed to be hospitalized. Nearly a half-million tests have come back negative.

DHS reported seven more deaths in the past day, pushing the number of people who died from complications related to coronavirus to 757.
