(FOX 9) - The state of Wisconsin reported fewer than 1,000 COVID-19 cases for the first time in a month.
The last time the state reported fewer than 1,000 cases was the day after Christmas, where Christmas Day reporting delays likely contributed to the low case count. Before that, the previous day below 1,000 was Sept. 19.
With 946 new cases reported Monday, the 7-day case increase average dipped to 1,577, continuing its downward trend. The 7-day test positivity average was down to 20.6 percent, too.
The 7-day death increase average was also down slightly Monday, reaching 33.
