MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin reported 689 new coronavirus cases and 13 deaths Saturday. The state’s seven-day average of new cases as reported by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services was 617. More than 560,000 people in Wisconsin have tested positive for COVID-19 and 6,412 have died of the disease since the pandemic started. State data shows over half of Wisconsin residents age 65 and older have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and the state is on track to begin vaccinating teachers, child care workers and other eligible groups Monday. Some of the newly eligible groups include public transit workers, utility workers and food supply chain workers — including retail food workers. State health officials say those age 65 and older should continue to be prioritized for the COVID-19 vaccine. As of Friday, about 15% of all Wisconsin residents had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and 7.6% had two doses. The number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 in the U.S. has plummeted by 80,000 in six weeks, and nearly 20% of the nation’s adult population has gotten vaccines.
