Wisconsin virus cases continue to hit records

Wisconsin keeps breaking records for the number of virus cases and deaths. State health officials reported 5,262 newly confirmed cases on Tuesday. They also reported the virus was a factor in another 64 deaths. The state has now seen 206,311 and 1,852 deaths since the pandemic began in March. During a teleconference with reporters, Governor Tony Evers called on Wisconsin residents to voluntarily shelter in place. He said the state added another 100,000 cases in the last 36 days, compared to a little over seven months for the first 100,000 cases. Evers said people should stay in their homes and limit their interactions to their immediate family. The governor issued a formal stay-at-home order in March but the conservative-leaning state Supreme Court struck the mandate down in May.
