MILWAUKEE — Six months now after Gov. Tony Evers first declared a Public Health Emergency tied to the spread of COVID-19 and President Donald Trump declared a National Emergency one day later, coronavirus numbers in Wisconsin continue to reach record levels this week.

Six months ago Saturday in Wisconsin (nearly two months after the first confirmed case in the U.S.), Evers announced a State of Emergency while Wisconsin had documented fewer than a dozen total cases of COVID-19.

Six months later, as of Wednesday, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services has confirmed 92,712 cases of COVID-19 in Wisconsin so far, including 1,408 new cases on Wednesday.

While the current survival rate in Wisconsin is 98.7% statewide, 1,228 Wisconsinites with COVID-19 have died as of Wednesday, with the nationwide death toll at more than 195,000 Americans and counting and total U.S. cases have topped 6.6 million.

Turning to the state's positivity rate, after hovering around 10% in March and April, Wisconsin was able to get it down to 2.58% for the week of June 7th, only to see it hit a record high again last week at 13.44% (note: as of Tuesday through three days this week, Wisconsin's even higher at 15.47%, with the state's rolling seven day average at 14.1% as of Wednesday).

While the numbers continue to climb, the state's unemployment rate continues to fall. In March, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics had Wisconsin's unemployment rate at 3.1% before spiking in April to 13.6%. The most recent data (for July) shows Wisconsin's unemployment rate has fallen back to 7.0%.
