MADISON, Wis. (WBAY) - COVID-19 testing confirmed 5,096 new cases in Wisconsin, the second time this week -- and the second time in the pandemic’s history -- there were more than 5,000 new cases identified in Wisconsin in a 24-hour period. The record is 5,262 cases this past Tuesday.
The new cases were part of 18,692 test results, the most received by the state in one day. The positivity rate -- a key metric indicating the spread of the virus -- was 27.26%. That means more than 1 in 4 tests came back positive. That’s down from the past three days, which ranged from 31.84 to 38.86 percent, and it’s lower than the 7-day average, which is at an all-time high of 29.49%.
Since February, more than 220,000 (220,092) coronavirus cases have been confirmed in Wisconsin, which is almost 22,000 more people than 5 days ago.
