On January 5, 2021, the Assembly Committee on Health will hold a public hearing on Assembly Bill 1 relating to state government actions to address the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) launched its new COVID-19 vaccine data page this morning. Data shown includes summary metrics for allocation, shipment, and total vaccine administered, as well as a graph displaying the number of vaccinations administered per day. DHS plans to update these visualizations at 2 p.m. every Tuesday.

As you may have noted there have not been any wrap-ups about the COVID-19 numbers recently here. Holidays make the numbers difficult to read, and between the recent Thanksgiving holiday and even more-recent Christmas, the reported numbers are confusing. There have been big dips and spikes recently and much of this simply has to do with the fact that reporting has been a little erratic.

This is one of a series of public media calls on the state of the COVID-19 pandemic in Wisconsin. Expect this call to include information on at-home COVID-19 testing which the state is making available.
