Trends in Outbreak-Associated Cases of COVID-19 - Wisconsin, March-November 2020. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2021 Jan 29;70(4):114-117 Authors: Pray IW, Kocharian A, Mason J, Westergaard R, Meiman J Abstract During September 3-November 16, 2020, daily confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) reported to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (WDHS) increased at a rate of 24% per week, from a 7-day average of 674 (August 28-September 3) to 6,426 (November 10-16) (1). The growth rate during this interval was the highest to date in Wisconsin and among the highest in the United States during that time (1). To characterize potential sources of this increase, the investigation examined reported outbreaks in Wisconsin that occurred during March 4-November 16, 2020, with respect to their setting and number of associated COVID-19 cases.
