Madison, Wiz. (WBAY) – Less than 1,000 new coronavirus cases have been confirmed in the latest batch of test results, stage health officials say. According to the Department of Health Services (DHS), 934 people came back positive on Saturday for their test results for the virus. For the second time this month, less than 1,000 new cases have been confirmed in the state in a 24-hour period. On February 1, only 750 new cases were confirmed.
934 new positive results were part of a total of 4,438 test results. Another 3,504 results were negative. New cases were confirmed in all Wisconsin counties except Adams, Bayfield, Crawford, Forest, Langled, Marquette, Richland, Rusk and Taylor counties. The state improved the number of cases in Langled County, and the number of deaths in Baron and Kenosha counties.
Saturday’s positive test results are 21.05% of the total number of test results. The number of new cases is lower than the average of 1,107 in the previous week, and the positivity rate is also below the 7-day average, which is 22.53% by our calculations. If you count the results of each test – including those tested several times – the state says that after that percentage on Thursday based on the initial number, the average positivity rate has remained stable above 7.7% on Friday.
The low amount of positive test results comes as health officials are in the business of administering the COVID-19 vaccine.
The state set a new record for COVID-19 vaccinations completed for the fourth day in a row, with 14,443 people getting second and final shots. The Department of Health Services says 158,053 people have now completed the vaccination series. A total of 740,526 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been given, up 49,828 from Friday. This number is preliminary as reports of vaccinators are coming.
It’s been a year since state health officials filed the first confirmed case of coronavirus in Wisconsin on Friday. Since then, a total of 549,155 people have tested positive for the virus, and another 2,531,066 have tested negative.
Of these positive cases, 7૨7,575 96 people or .961.1% are considered to have recovered, while another 1,369. People or 2.8% are considered active cases.
According to the DHS, Kovid-19 complications killed another 32 people in the last 24 hours, bringing the state’s death toll to 6,052. The state crossed the 6,000 accumulated death toll on Friday. The death rate in Wisconsin is maintaining at 1.1%.
Wisconsin has averaged 23 deaths per day from the virus in the past week. The average remained stable since Friday and was also 23 on Wednesday. The lowest 7-day death since the end of October 23 is the average.

Hospitals
D.H.S. According to, 90 people were hospitalized for severe COVID-19 symptoms in the last 24 hours. An average of 83 hospital admissions are made daily for the disease in the state. In the past 12 months, 24,824 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized for treatment or 4.5% of all known cases.
There were 570 Kovid-19 patients in hospitals across the state, down 13 from Friday, according to a Wisconsin Hospitals Association (WHA) report Saturday. Of those patients, 151 are in intensive care, eight fewer than Friday. Daily changes in hospital hospitalization take into account new admissions, discharges and deaths.
The Fox Valley Hospitals hospital cared for 33 Kovid-19 patients, 10 fewer than on Friday. Six of the two fewer patients are in the ICU than on Friday.
Hospitals in the Northeast are treating 49 Kovid-19 patients, four fewer than on Friday. The ICU, which has been stable since Friday, has 14 patients.
Hospital preparation
In terms of hospital readiness, the WHA reports that 271 ICU beds (18.48%) and 2,329 (20.84%) of all medical beds (ICU, intermediate care, medical surgical and negative flow isolation) are open in 134 hospitals in the state.
13 Fox Valley hospitals have registered 8 open ICU beds (7.69%) among them. Hospitals had a total of 109 uncontrolled medical beds (12.77%) for the eight counties they served.
IC 43 ICU beds (20.7777%) in 10 hospitals in the Northeast and 211 (. 299%) of all medical beds are open to patients in seven counties.
This bed is for all patients, not just COVID-19. We use the words “open” or “unskilled” instead of “available” because whether a bed can be filled depends on hospitals that have staff for a bedridden patient, including doctors, nurses and food services.
There were no hospital overflow patients at the state’s alternative care facility near State Fairgrounds on Saturday.
In addition, the DHS says Friday was the last day the Bamlanivimab Infusion Clinic was open. The clinic opened on Dec. 22, and the clinic’s references were to Southeast Wisconsin Health Systems. According to the state, the same health care systems now have the capacity to care for those patients.

* Cases and deaths are daily DHS Covid-19 reports, which may differ from the number of local health departments. The DHS reports cases from all health departments within the county boundaries, including the tribal, municipal, and county health departments; County websites can’t. In addition, public health departments update their data at various times, while the DHS. Freezes the numbers received at the same time each day to compile the afternoon report.
D.H.S. Death Facilitated COVID-19 in which COVID-19 contributed to their death. Most people who are severely affected by coronavirus have underlying diseases or conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, or obesity, which increase a person’s risk of dying from COVID-19. They could have lived longer if they had not been infected. The state may revise the case and death statistics after further review, such as correction of the victim’s whereabouts, duplicate records or lab results. Details can be found on the DHS website and FAQ.
** Michigan State does not update numbers on Sunday. Monday’s numbers include updates after the Saturday reporting deadline.
COVID-19 tracing application
Wisconsin’s COVID-19 tracing app, “Wisconsin Exposure Suggestion,” is available for iOS and Android smartphones. No download required for iPhone. The Android app is available on Google Play. While the two phones with the app (and possibly their owners) are close enough, for a long time, they will anonymously share a random string of numbers via Bluetooth. If someone tests positive for coronavirus, they will receive a code to type in the application. If your phones have been “pinned” to each other in the last 14 days, you will receive a push notification that you are at risk of being exposed. The app does not collect personal information or location information, so you will not know from whom or where, but you will be told what day exposure may occur so you can quarantine for the right time.
Features
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified these as possible symptoms of COVID-19:
- Fever of 100.4 or higher
- Cough
- Shortness of breath
- Cool
- Frequent shaking with cold
- Muscle pain
- headache
- Dry throat
- New loss of taste or smell
Prevention
- Coronavirus is a new, or “novel” virus. No one has a natural immunity to it.
- Children and adolescents recover well from the virus. Older people and people with underlying health conditions (heart disease, diabetes, lung disease) are considered at higher risk, according to the CDC. Caution should also be exercised around people with developing or weakened immune systems.
- To help prevent the spread of the virus:
- Stay at least six feet away from others
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick or appear
- Stay home as much as possible
- Cancel events and avoid groups, gatherings, dates and important appointments
