The rate of coronavirus tests returning positive results jumped to 10.23 percent Sunday as 769 new cases were confirmed. That brings the total case count for Wisconsin to 36,458. Of those, more than 7,300 are considered active — the largest number of active cases reported to date.

There were no more fatalities reported Sunday, leaving the death toll at 821.

The largest local increase was in Milwaukee County, with 267 new cases and 13.6 percent of tests coming back positive.

Several other counties saw double-digit increases and high positive test rates, including:

Brown County: 31 new cases, 7.35 percent positive tests
Dane County: 116 new cases, 21.01 percent positive tests
Fond du Lac County: 22 new cases, 91.7 percent positive tests

Hospitalizations statewide remained 264, the same number as yesterday but 20 more than a week ago. Of those currently hospitalized for COVID-19, 74 require intensive care. Additionally, 148 people are hospitalized and awaiting test results.

The rate of disparity in Latino populations continues to stand out. ...............................

Similarly, 17 percent of all cases are Black people, as are 24 percent of total COVID-19 related deaths in the state. Black people make up just six percent of the state’s population.
