Number of COVID-19 cases linked to UK variant increases to 19

The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Wisconsin linked to a more infectious variant first discovered in the United Kingdom has more than tripled, from six to 19, per state data released Thursday.

Department of Health Services Deputy Secretary Julie Willems Van Dijk said the actual number is likely higher as only a small percentage of positive cases are genome sequenced for the variant.

“We are concerned,” she said. “That’s why we really are encouraging people to keep physical distancing, keep your social circles as small as you can.”

DHS reported
