Although the number of coronavirus positive tests dropped slightly today (which is normal for a weekend) the 1665 new cases were the fourth-highest number of cases in a single day - the three higher numbers were in the previous three days in Wisconsin. The percentage of positive cases topped 20% today, which is disturbingly high.
Locally things are also not doing well. 26 new cases were reported in Dunn County, with a 15.38% positivity rate. Chippewa County reported 10 new cases with only a 4.03% positivity rate, but Eau Claire County had 59 new cases and reported a 90.77 percent positivity rate.
Mask up.
