Protests are continuing in Wisconsin, marking two weeks of public outcry against systemic racism and police violence. Several hundred health care providers and advocates rallied at the state Capitol in Madison, and more protests and community events were held around Milwaukee.

There have been 21,926 positive cases of COVID-19 in Wisconsin as of June 11, according to the state Department of Health Services. That's an increase of 333 cases from the day before.

Despite warnings of severe weather throughout Wisconsin, protests were planned across the state on June 9 in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Protests are again springing up in Milwaukee and Madison, marking an 11th straight day of demonstrations decrying racism and police violence after George Floyd was killed in the custody of Minneapolis police.
