(FOX 9) - The Wisconsin Department of Health Services now says 111 people have died from COVID-19 statewide, marking the first time the death total has eclipsed 100.
New data Thursday showed 2,885 positive tests and a hospitalization rate of 29 percent. The state also reported 31,424 negative tests to date.
Wisconsin ordered all of its State Parks, forests and recreation areas closed Thursday.
The state's first deaths were reported on March 19.
On April 4, President Donald Trump approved disaster declaration for Wisconsin due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This declaration allows for federal funding to be allocated to state, tribal and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations that were impacted by the virus.
On March 24, Evers directed the Department of Health Services to issue a "Safer At Home" order that prohibits all nonessential travel in the state, with some exceptions.
Wisconsin 'Safer at Home' order: What's open, what's closed and what you're allowed to leave your house for
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers on Tuesday directed the Department of Health Services to issue a “Safer at Home” order that prohibits all nonessential travel in the state, with some exceptions.
The order, which affects more than 5 million people, went into effect at 8 a.m. Wednesday, March 25 and will remain in effect until April 24 or until a superseding order is issued. That means schools, bars, restaurants, salons, museums, fitness centers and other businesses that have already been closed for the last week will remain closed until then.
Similar to Minnesota, Wisconsin health officials say they are prioritizing testing for COVID-19 due to a shortage of ingredients needed to run the tests.
