Wisconsin Has Met All But One Criteria to Reopen State

The Department of Health Services created six gating criteria to track the spread of COVID-19. Of the six criteria, Wisconsin has met five. This makes the state closer to “Phase 1” of the state’s Badger Bounce Back plan of reopening.

 

DHS has found a downward trajectory of cases over the past two weeks in which COVID-like symptoms were reported. Over that same period, the percentage of total tests that have come back positive has generally decreased. There is also a downward trend of COVID-19 cases among health care workers. Additionally, all hospitals are reporting to DHS that they can treat all patients without crisis standards of care and that they have arranged for testing of clinical staff who treat coronavirus patients.

 

The only goal not met is a downward trend of influenza-like illnesses reported across a two-week span.
