MADISON, WI (WRN) – New reports of COVID-19 cases are on the decline in Wisconsin.
That’s according to Monday data from the state Department of Health Services.
DHS reported 2,122 new cases of the disease Monday, bringing the average for the past seven days to 3,509 daily cases.
One week ago, the average was 3,871 daily cases. DHS typically reports fewer confirmed COVID-19 cases on Mondays, reflecting lower weekend testing.
There were 12 new deaths from COVID-19 reported Monday, bringing the total to 4.068.
Eleven months after the state’s first confirmed case of COVID-19, the first limited quantities of a vaccine made by Pfizer have arrived in Wisconsin.
The first doses of the vaccine are being given to frontline health care workers.
The Pfizer vaccine is a two stages process. Health officials say it’s necessary that people get the second inoculation for the vaccine to be most effective.
