Wisconsin health officials reported an additional 829 people have tested positive for COVID-19.
Those positive cases made up 7.3% of the 11,335 test results reported by the Department of Health Services on Saturday. The seven-day average for positive tests stood at 7%.
The state health department also reported Saturday that 13 more people have died, bringing Wisconsin's total number of deaths to 1,038. Those who have died as a result of COVID-19 make up 1.6% of all those diagnosed, according to DHS.
Wisconsin passed 1,000 COVID-19 deaths on Tuesday of this week.
Of 65,056 Wisconsin residents who have tested positive:
55,127, or 84.8%, are considered “recovered” by DHS, meaning either there is documented proof their symptoms have resolved or it's been 30 days since their diagnosis.
8,828, or 13.6%, are considered “active,” meaning they aren't “recovered” and haven't died.
At least 5,275 have been hospitalized, although DHS doesn't know in about a third of confirmed COVID-19 cases whether the infected person was ever admitted to a hospital.
1,038, or 1.6%, have died.
As of Friday afternoon, 336 people with COVID-19 were hospitalized, 110 of them in intensive care, according to DHS. An additional 239 patients were hospitalized awaiting the results of a COVID-19 test.
