increasing.

On Walz extending the order:

On the daily new case and new death count:

It's true that the percent increase in the daily new case count has been declining, though the daily new case count itself is still growing. I don't know where the history is on new cases, I've been daily recording them and spreadsheeting them.

Unfortunately I don't have daily deaths spreadsheeted (although I've recorded them) but this has a graph with the data behind each point can be obtained by hovering your mouse over the point.

Here's what I've recorded since 3/21 (I have back to 3/13).

Each ()'s has a trio of numbers: date, cumulative total cases, and cumulative total deaths.

cumulative total cases includes deaths and recovered as well as active cases.

(Sat 3/21: 137,1), (Sun 3/22: 169,1), (Mon 235,1), (Tue 262,1), (Wed 287,1), (Thu 346,2), (Fri 398,4), (Sat, 441,5),
(Sun 3/29: 503,9), (Mon 576,10), (Tue 629,12), (Wed 689,17), (Thu 742,18), (Fri 789,22), (Sat 865,24),
(Sun 4/5: 935,29), (Mon 986,30), (Tue: 1069,34), (Wed: 1154,39), (Thu: 1242, 50), (Fri: 1336,57) (Sat: 1427, 64)
(Sun 4/12: 1536, 70)

Well, here's the daily new deaths beginning Monday 3/30 through Sunday 4/12:

1, 2, 5, 1, 4, 2, 5, 1, 4, 5, 11, 7, 7, 6

so maybe it's plateauing...

Rolling average of 4:

2.25, 3.00, 3.00, 3.00, 3.00, 3.00, 3.75, 5.25, 6.75, 7.50, 7.75,

The first number is Avg(1, 2, 5, 1) = 2.25,
The 2nd number is Avg(2, 5, 1, 4) = 3.00,
The 3rd number is Avg(5, 1, 4, 2) = 3.00,
and so on
