MADISON (WKOW) -- Wisconsin health officials reported six more deaths and 39 hospitalizations on Saturday.
The Department of Health Services reported 8,752 new test results since yesterday, of which 819—or 9.4 percent—came back positive, according to new numbers released today.
The remaining tests returned negative results. However, a negative test only means the person tested did not have the disease at the time. They could still contract COVID-19.
Measuring the percentage of new cases returned in tests each day helps differentiate if increases in cases are due to greater spread or more testing, according to DHS.
The seven-day average of positive cases is at 8.2 percent.
DHS reported six new deaths, raising the total at 1,119 people (1.5 percent of positive cases) killed by the disease.
The state reported 7,933 new negative test results.
Of all positive cases reported since the pandemic began, 66,075 or 88.4 percent, are considered recovered.
The state reported 39 new hospitalizations. Wisconsin hospitals are currently treating 309 patients with COVID-19. Of those, 103 are in intensive care units.
DHS now has a county-level dashboard to assess the COVID-19 activity level in counties and Healthcare Emergency Readiness Coalition regions that measure what DHS calls the burden in each county. View the dashboard HERE.

The new strain of the coronavirus causes the disease COVID-19. Symptoms include cough, fever and shortness of breath. A full list of symptoms is available on the Centers for Disease Control website.
In severe cases, pneumonia can develop. Those most at risk include the elderly, people with heart or lung disease as well as anyone at greater risk of infection.
For most, the virus is mild, presenting similarly to a common cold or the flu.
Anyone who thinks they may have the disease should call ahead to a hospital or clinic before going in for a diagnosis. Doing so gives the staff time to take the proper precautions so the virus does not spread.
Those needing emergency medical services should continue to use 911.
