2:26 p.m.: Wisconsin records largest single-day increase in COVID-19 cases
https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/2020/04/22/coronavirus-wisconsin-latest-updates-cases-cancellations/3002181001/
Wisconsin saw its largest single-day increase in confirmed coronavirus cases since the state began testing, largely due to a hotspot in Brown County.
Of 225 new positive tests announced Wednesday by the Department of Health Services, 88 came from Brown County, where nearly 150 cases have been tied to a Green Bay meatpacking plant.
Overall, the county's confirmed cases have increased from 41 to 410 in just over two weeks.
The previous high for a single day was April 1, when 199 new cases were announced.
The state's death toll due to COVID-19 increased by four, to 246.
The state's hospitals had just over 350 COVID-19 patients admitted, according to the Wisconsin Hospital Association, down more than 50 from a week prior, and nearly 230 patients awaiting test results.
