Wisconsin’s coronavirus numbers are down.
The state’s Department of Health Services yesterday reported 173 positive tests yesterday, and just over seven thousand negative tests. That brings the state’s positive-test-rate to just two-point-three percent. That is the lowest it’s ever been.
On the heels of weekend protests, Eau Claire’s public health boss says protests are allowed under the county’s coronavirus emergency order.
Health director Lieske Giese yesterday said the hundreds of people who marched through downtown Eau Claire did not technically violate the order. Crowds in Eau Claire are supposed to be limited to just 20 people. Giese says she hopes that the protesters wore masks to keep them safe from the coronavirus.
