Madison, Wisconsin (WBAY)-Wisconsin has identified more than 1,000 new coronavirus patients for the third time in four days. But the record day of test results has reduced the percentage of positive tests-a key indicator of how the state contains the virus.

The Ministry of Health received 17,456 test results during the 24 hours until Friday. There were 1,018 positive tests, or 5.83%. It’s a full percentage point down from Thursday. The other 16,438 tests were negative.

According to the CDC, older people and people with underlying disorders (heart disease, diabetes, lung disease) are considered at high risk. Precautions are also needed around people with a weakened or weakened immune system.
• To prevent the spread of the virus:
• Stay at least 6 feet away from others
• Avoid close contact with sick and sick people
• Stay home as much as possible
• Cancel events and avoid groups, gatherings, play dates, and unnecessary appointments
• If you get sick, stay at home.
• Wash your hands regularly for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol
• Cover your mouth and nose with a mask. Use at least a tissue when coughing, sneezing, or using the inside of your elbow.
• Clean frequently touched surfaces and objects daily (eg tables, countertops, light switches, doorknobs, cabinet handles)
