Health officials have confirmed nearly 500 more cases of COVID-19 in Wisconsin. The state Department of Health Services said Monday that the state has seen 32,061 cases since the pandemic began in March. That’s an increase of 484 cases since Sunday. The death toll has held steady at 796 since July 3, however, and nearly 80% of victims have recovered. As of Monday the state had 6,018 active cases. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services reports the state has seen an uptick of cases from people in their 20s, with the age group accounting for nearly a quarter of cases statewide. The number of cases confirmed over the last two weeks has been on the rise. The state saw its highest number of daily reported cases on Independence Day. Fond du Lac County Public Health Officer Kim Mueller says there were 13 new cases reported in Fond du Lac County over the holiday weekend. Mueller says any potential spike in cases from holiday gatherings wouldn’t be known for another 10 to 14 days.
