MILWAUKEE (AP) — Wisconsin health officials are reporting an additional 42 new deaths related to COVID-19, and more than 1,600 new cases of the virus. But the state is also seeing a decline in hospitalizations, after hospitals were overwhelmed in the fall. As of Friday, the Wisconsin Hospital Association reported 785 people were hospitalized, including 178 in intensive care. The number of hospitalizations is down 489 when compared with a month ago, and much lower than the state’s peak hospitalization of 2,277 in November.
