Wisconsin fitness officials said Thursday that all citizens should be evaluated if they have symptoms of COVID-19 or if they have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive, and that still doesn’t happen.
Health officials showed 727 more cases on Thursday, while the number of recently reported tests (9178) more or less in line with the four-week average of 9222 and 30% less than the four-week average of 12935.
“It’s quite saying that we’re not doing enough tests,” Dr. Ryan Westergaard, a leading medical officer at the Office of Communicable Diseases, said Thursday afternoon.
The drop in testing occurs after some network test sites were closed and officials said test materials such as reagent were being diverted to other states; however, state labs still report that they are testing more people consistently with the day (more than 27,000) of what they have done.been in recent times.
Department of Health Services secretary Andrea Palm said Thursday that the state is seeking to reduce barriers to screening.The branch has created its online check registration page in Spanish and will soon upload Hmong.
Westergaard said the most recent studies suggest that two out of five people with COVID-19 will have no symptoms, but that these asymptomatic Americans are guilty of about part of COVID-19 transmission.
In order for public health officials to obtain an accurate measure of the virus’s activity and take appropriate measures to prevent its spread, he said, they also want other asymptomatic people to be tested.

The recent decrease in explains two trends: fewer instances shown and greater check positivity.
The average seven-day new show fell to 674 on Thursday from 930 on July 26.
But 8.7% of the control samples treated in the last seven days tested positive for the virus, 6.8% at the peak of new instances on July 26 and 3% in early June.

Note that tests are calculated as a combination of the total number of new instances in line with another 100,000 people in the last two weeks and the consistent percentage variation of new instances between the last seven days and the last seven days.
Across the state, there have been 170 cases of 100,000 inhabitants in the past two weeks.Rates were in Iron (580), Lake Fond (340), Brown (330), Juneau (320), Oconto (300) and Outagamie.(280) counties.
