Wisconsin on Monday reported 1,221 positive cases of coronavirus in the state and 14 deaths.

Positive cases increased by 109 from Sunday to Monday. That's about on track with the previous day's increase.

The state says 15,856 tests so far have come back negative.

NOTE ON REPORTING OF DEATH TOTALS: Action 2 News is now reporting the number of deaths listed by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, which as of Tuesday was 14. We are aware that counties are reporting separate numbers that would make that total higher. Our previous reporting had higher numbers, but out of the sake of accuracy and consistency, we will continue to report the statewide total from this point forward.

Separately, Door County reported its first confirmed COVID-19 case. Door County Public Health says the person has been isolated since they were tested but did not provide any information about the patient.

In another separate report, Winnebago County officials say their confirmed cases have also increased to 11, which is one more case than reported Sunday.

Officials say 183 people have tested negative for the virus in Winnebago County, with another 102 test results still pending.

The state has formed partnerships with private labs to double testing capacity, but that's still dependent on the availability of ingredients for the test kits.

"The supply chain for testing materials is extremely fragile due to this worldwide pandemic," Health Services Secretary-designee Andrea Palm said.

While the ability to test more people will likely increase the known number of COVID-19 cases, the state is now starting to talk about "surge teams" and creating what the governor calls "voluntary isolation centers."

"We're also working with the Army Corps of Engineers to ensure that field hospitals and facilities will be ready when the surge of acute cases begins to hit our health care systems in the coming weeks," Gov. Evers said.

"We're very actively working on a number of locations, and we'll be providing guidance to locals on how they can do that for themselves, so regionally and locally they have the capacity to deal with this," Secretary Palm said.

State officials said 20 to 25% of COVID-19 patients are hospitalized at some point during their treatment.

One of the biggest issues for the state is a shortage of Personal Protection Equipment. The Evers administration is working to get PPE from FEMA, the national stockpile, buy back programs and donations.

Wisconsin is competing with other states, the federal government and the entire world to secure PPE.

Wisconsin has started a PPE Donation and Buyback Program.

to donate to the program.

Gov. Evers thanked the community for their generosity in donating to the program. The state has started distributing donated PPE to communities.

Why we are reporting the state confirmed numbers from this point forward: "All data are laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19 that we freeze once a day to verify and ensure that we are reporting accurate information," reads a statement from the Wisconsin DHS. "These numbers are the official state numbers, though counties may report their own totals independent of DHS. Combining the DHS and local totals may result in inaccurate totals."

Older people and those with underlying health conditions (heart disease, diabetes, lung disease) are considered at high risk, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, people of all ages can contract the illness and they can suffer serious symptoms.

The coronavirus is spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

"The virus is found in droplets from the throat and nose. When someone coughs or sneezes, other people near them can breathe in those droplets. The virus can also spread when someone touches an object with the virus on it. If that person touches their mouth, face, or eyes the virus can make them sick," says the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.

Symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath.

Emergency signs include pain and pressure in the chest, confusion and bluish lips or face.

The CDC believes symptoms may appear between 2 and 14 days after contact with an infected person.
