There are fewer Wisconsin counties “in the red” for the coronavirus.
The state’s Department of Health Services yesterday said just eight counties are listed as having critically high coronavirus activity. That number was at 16 during the start of the week. Critically high activity usually means a positivity rate of over one percent, though many times it’s a reflection of low population. All of the critically high counties in Wisconsin are small counties. Most of the rest of the state has what DHS is calling very high activity, though Dane County has been downgraded to just high coronavirus activity.
