More than 10,000 Wisconsinites have died from COVID-19.
The state is currently averaging 24 new deaths a day.
The 7-day average for new COVID cases is now 3,869, the highest it’s been in a year.
Hospitalizations are still at critical levels with more than 90% of hospital beds in use. In the North Central region, ICUs are at peak capacity.
The Department of Health Services issued a public health advisory earlier this month because of the threat of the omicron variant.
It asks people to get vaccinated, wear a mask in public, and get tested before visiting with others during the holidays.
