The next round of coronavirus testing will take Wisconsin over the two-million mark.
The state’s Department of Health Services yesterday said nearly two million people have been tested for the virus since March. Nearly 200 thousand have tested positive since then. That means nearly 90 percent of tests were negative. DHS says nearly 80 percent of the people who’ve tested positive have been declared recovered.
The patient count at Wisconsin’s overflow hospital is at two.
The state’s Department of Health Services yesterday said there are two people being treated at the field hospital at the state fairgrounds in West Allis. There were three patients on Saturday, but one person was sent home. The 15 million-dollar hospital was built to treat over 500 people. Governor Evers has ordered that as many as 50 people can be in the hospital at one time.
Overall, the number of people in hospitals across the state with the coronavirus is not dipping down. The state’s Department of Health Services yesterday reported more than 12 hundred people in the hospital with the virus. Some 320 of them are in the ICU. Nearly half of those people are in hospitals in southeast Wisconsin, the second largest group are in hospitals in the south central region of the state.
