(WAOW) — The last several months of COVID-19 data as shown steadily decreasing amounts of cases, deaths and hospitalizations. Wednesday's data update doesn't follow that trend.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is reporting 776 new COVID-19 cases. This the largest single-day increase in cases since February 25.
For further clarification, since DHS met a technical issue on Tuesday that prevented them from updating their COVID webpages, the 776 new cases are only Wednesday's report. On Tuesday, the state added 353 new cases.
Now, the total of confirmed cases in the state throughout the pandemic is 573,899. Only 6,368 of those cases are still considered to be active.
The state also adds 11 deaths for Tuesday and 10 deaths for Wednesday. This brings the total of those who have died from the virus in the state to 6,597, or around 1.1% of positive cases.
DHS also reports 72 people were newly hospitalized.
As of Tuesday afternoon, 217 COVID-19 patients were being treated in Wisconsin hospitals, up 14 from the day prior.
Of those, 59 are in the ICU, up two from the day before, according to the Wisconsin Hospital Association.
As of Tuesday, a total of 2,442,810 vaccines have been administered throughout Wisconsin.
So far, 26.3 percent of Wisconsinites have gotten at least one dose of the vaccine, and 15.3 percent of the state has complete the vaccine series.
Vaccination numbers can change on a rolling basis as the state gets more data each day.
DHS has a county-level dashboard to assess the COVID-19 activity level in counties and Healthcare Emergency Readiness Coalition regions that measure what DHS calls the burden in each county. View the dashboard HERE.
