Cases skyrocketing in Wisconsin
Wisconsin has now surpassed 200,000 COVID-19 cases. While it took Wisconsin a little over seven months to reach 100,000 cases, it took a fraction of that time -- just 36 days -- to reach 200,000, Gov. Tony Evers said.
With 5,262 new cases and 64 more deaths, Tuesday marked Wisconsin’s largest single-day increase for cases and fatalities, said Secretary-Designee Andrea Palm.
Hospitals across the state are strained and operating with critical and imminent staffing shortages, Palm said.
Evers urged residents to avoid gatherings and only leave their homes when absolutely necessary.

New Yorkers urged to stay home for Thanksgiving
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is urging New Yorkers to avoid traveling over Thanksgiving to keep high COVID-19 numbers from returning to the city.
“You could be putting your family and yourself in danger and bringing the disease back here," the mayor said, according to ABC New York station WABC. "Everyone is going to make their own decision, I know there are painful choices. I get it. But my recommendation is to avoid travel this holiday season. Stay safe, to keep us all safe.”
California added to New York’s travel advisory list
California has been added to New York’s growing travel advisory list, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday.
Forty-five states and territories now meet the travel advisory requirements, Cuomo said. Those who come to New York must quarantine for two weeks if they travel from areas with positive test rates above 10 per 100,000 residents over a one-week average, or an area with a 10% or higher positivity rate over a one-week average.
These are the states and territories on the list: Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia and Wyoming.
Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania meet the criteria for the travel advisory list, but Cuomo said it’s not practical to enforce a quarantine with neighboring states. New Yorkers are discouraged from nonessential travel to those states.
