The number of people tested for the coronavirus in Wisconsin is up. But so too is the number of people who have been confirmed as not sick.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services yesterday announced 14 new pending tests. The state also announced that all five of the previously pending tests came back negative. To date, just one of the 39 people tested for the coronavirus in Wisconsin has gotten sick. And that person has recovered.
Western Wisconsin’s congressman says there is no reason the U.S. cannot fight the coronavirus. Congressman Ron Kind yesterday said the eight billion-dollars that Congress just approved should be more than enough to get ahead of any possible outbreak. Kind said the money should quickly find its way to the states, including here in Wisconsin, to help state and local public health managers on the front lines.
