MILWAUKEE â COVID-19 hospitalization numbers are down across the state of Wisconsin, but officials caution we shouldnât let our guard down against the virus.
According to the Wisconsin Hospital Association, there are currently 412 patients with coronavirus in the hospital. Thatâs down from the November high of 2,277.
âWeâve seen the numbers decline almost as rapidly as they inclined,â says Wisconsin Hospital Association CEO Eric Borgerding.
Borgerding says itâs hard to pinpoint an exact cause of the decline, but says Wisconsinites have been doing a good job of slowing the spread, noting the statewide 7 day average of positive cases has fallen and that the vaccine distribution is underway.
