The Minnesota Department of Health today reported 490 newly reported COVID-19 cases and 25 newly reported deaths, bringing the state’s cumulative total to 29,795 cases and 1,274 deaths.
Of those deaths, 1,015 were residents in long-term care or assisted living facilities. Of those positive cases, 3,102 were health care workers.
Approximately 395,202 COVID tests have been completed, and 25,028 patients have recovered to the point they no longer need to be isolated.
By subtracting the patients out of isolation and the deaths from the state’s cumulative total, that leaves 3,493 active cases of COVID-19 in the state.
There are currently 403 patients being treated for COVID in a hospital, and of those, 191 are in ICU. This is the sixth straight day of fewer than 200 COVID patients in the ICU.
