The Department of Health Services reported a record breaking 53 percent daily positive test rate on Sunday, and 40 percent on Saturday. The seven-day positive test rate rose for the first time in nearly two weeks, to 27.8 percent.

DHS reported 50 COVID-19 related deaths over the weekend, bringing Wisconsin’s toll to 3,307.
