(WBAY) – The Wisconsin Department of Health Services reported slightly over 1,000 new coronavirus cases Monday.

But the COVID-19 death rate went back up to 1.05% of all cases with the deaths of 19 more people reported.

The death rate was at 1.05% on Saturday when the DHS record 128 COVID-19 related deaths to the death toll.

The DHS also tracks results for people tested multiple times, such as health care workers or patients being treated for COVID-19.

The state has tested almost 3 million people (2,964,720), confirming more than half a million (522,877) cases:.

The state also reports 35,924 people received their second dose and finished their vaccination series, about 5,100 more than Friday’s report.

A DHS subcommittee recommended three broad groups: People over 70, people in congregate settings (such as jails, homeless shelters, and employer housing) that weren’t included in phase 1a, and more essential workers (including educators in face-to-face learning and first responders and health care workers who weren’t included in phase 1a).

To date, 23,130 people have been hospitalized at some point for serious COVID-19 symptoms, or 4.42% of all cases.

As of Monday, the Wisconsin Hospital Association (WHA) reported 875 COVID-19 patients being treated in hospitals, with 209 of them in intensive care units.

The Fox Valley region’s 13 hospitals are treating 74 COVID-19 patients, including 8 in ICU.

The Northeast region’s 10 hospitals were treating 95 COVID-19 patients, with 26 in ICU – 6 more in ICU and 13 more overall in the last day.

Once again it did not have any overflow COVID-19 patients from state hospitals.

These beds are for all patients, not just COVID-19.
