For a second straight day, there were no deaths due to COVID-19 reported in Wisconsin.
On Monday, the U.S. as a whole surpassed 500,000 coronavirus deaths since the start of the pandemic, about 19 percent of the global total, although the U.S. accounts for just 4 percent of the world’s population.
In Wisconsin though, the state Department of Health Services reported no deaths for a second day on Monday. DHS reported 423 new cases, and as of Monday afternoon the seven-day average percent positive by test was 2.6%, the lowest in nearly a year.
