MADISON (WKOW) -- There were 20 deaths since yesterday attributed to COVID-19, continuing a four-day trend of double-digit deaths.
Also in the latest numbers reported Saturday from the Division of Health Services, there were 64 new hospitalizations.
DHS reported 9,843 new test results, of which 523--or 5.3 percent--came back positive, according to new numbers released Monday.
Measuring the percentage of new cases returned in tests each day helps differentiate if increases in cases are due to greater spread or more testing, according to DHS.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services updates the statistics each day on its website around 2 p.m.
The new strain of the coronavirus causes the disease COVID-19. Symptoms include cough, fever and shortness of breath. A full list of symptoms is available on the Centers for Disease Control website.
In severe cases, pneumonia can develop. Those most at risk include the elderly, people with heart or lung disease as well as anyone at greater risk of infection.
For most, the virus is mild, presenting similarly to a common cold or the flu.
Anyone who thinks they may have the disease should call ahead to a hospital or clinic before going in for a diagnosis. Doing so gives the staff time to take the proper precautions so the virus does not spread.
Those needing emergency medical services should continue to use 911.
(A timeline of the virus' spread in Wisconsin is available here.)
