Case wise, La Crosse added eight on Sunday. The negative-44 cases one day last week makes trying to accurately calculate the seven-day average difficult but the Coulee COVID-19 Collaborative had it at eight on Friday (it only updates Monday-Friday). Last week that average was nine, which included a day with negative-four cases.
