COVID-19 Update
May 6th, Afternoon

We have a COVID-19 update for you this afternoon.

Taking a look at the updated state numbers, the state has 87,826 negative tests, 8,901 positive cases (an increase of 335 over yesterday) and 362 deaths, an increase of 9 over yesterday. Of the positive cases, 1,694, or 19%, have been hospitalized. Clark County has 22 positive and 285 negative. For our neighboring counties, Chippewa has 27 positive and 1,165 negative, Eau Claire has 45 positive and 2,253 negative, Jackson has 12 positive and 401 negative, Wood has 2 positive and 604 negative, Marathon has 21 positive and 939 negative and Taylor still has no positive cases and 133 negative. Clark County has had 4 people die from the coronavirus. Marathon and Jackson Counties have had one person die due to the coronavirus.

Again, Wisconsin’s “Safer at Home” order, asks all residents to avoid unnecessary travel. You can still go to the grocery store or pharmacy, get gas, get dinner from a local business, work in the yard, walk the dog, ride a bike, etc.; just practice social distancing when you do so. If there’s anything we can do at Central Wisconsin Broadcasting to help, please reach out. We have many resources available to you on our website and Facebook page and we’re happy to answer your questions. If we can’t, we can put you in touch with someone that can. But above all, continue to follow health expert guidelines.

Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
