For the 4th day in a row, Wisconsin set a record for new COVID-19 cases.

The Department of Health Services is reporting 12,293 new confirmed cases.

The 7-day average is 7,637.

That’s more than double what the average was two weeks ago.

Oneida and Lincoln County Health Departments say they can no longer keep up with contact tracing.

Health officials urge people to stay home if your sick, get tested, wear a mask in public, and get vaccinated, including your booster.
