MADISON -- The Wisconsin Department of Health Services updated its website on Monday, March 16 -- and indicated there are at least 47 positive cases of coronavirus in the state -- and 504 persons who tested negative for COVID-19.



Earlier on Monday, Gov. Tony Evers ordered a ban on all gatherings of more than 50 people, a dramatic move in line with federal recommendations and as other states took similar action to stop the spread of the new coronavirus.



The governor did not say how long the order would be in effect.
