More than 200,000 other people in Wisconsin have tested positive for COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic, according to state data.
The state passed the milestone on Monday when the Department of Health Services reported 2,883 new and 10 deaths. The death toll is now 1788.
The number of others hospitalized with the virus in the state peaked at 1,350 patients, adding another 329 people in extensive care units, more than 4 times the number of coronavirus patients two months ago, just before cases began to increase in Wisconsin.
For more than seven days, an average of 3,879 new cases per day have been reported, more than five times the seven-day average reported two months ago.
The seven-day average is below Saturday’s record of more than 4,000 cases. Mondays are sometimes the lowest case counts of the week, as fewer tests are performed and processed over the weekend.
However, coronavirus continues to plague Wisconsin. Infections are in all age groups, and 68 of the 72 counties in the state report “very high” disease activity.

State Fair Park Field Hospital treated 4 patients on Monday, depending on the state. Known as a care center of choice, it is intended to lose the bed area in hospitals and treat coronavirus patients who want a decreased hospital care point.
The positivity rate, on average over the last seven days, is 25. 4%. This is the number of citizens who took the test for the first time divided by the number of citizens who have already done so.

Also Monday, doctors across Wisconsin signed a letter asking President Donald Trump to cancel his election rallies in Wisconsin from the COVID-19 increase.
Trump’s crusade has a rally scheduled for Tuesday at West Salem, which will be his third rally in the state in 10 days.

Responding to the need for extensive COVID-19 controls in northeastern Wisconsin, Prevea Health announced Monday that a new COVID-19 checkpoint will open on November 2 at the Brown County Fairgrounds in De Pere.
Anyone can have a loose checkup at Prevea health checkup sites, whether they have or have symptoms. Residents want to be an existing Prevea patient for a checkup.
“Some have very severe symptoms, very symptoms such as nasal discharge or throat irritation, and some have no symptoms,” said Dr. Ashok Rai, EXECUTIVE Director and President of Prevea Health.
“You may feel good, but you can also simply transmit the virus to others and others get sicker than you. Get tested,” he said.
