The Minnesota Department of Health reported 197 newly reported COVID-19 cases and nine newly reported deaths, bringing the state’s cumulative total to 30,882 cases and 1,313 deaths.
Of those deaths, 1,041 were residents of long-term care or assisted living facilities. Of those positive cases, 3,223 were health care workers.
To date, 429,145 tests have been completed, with 6,272 being completed within the last 24 hours, and 27,006 patients no longer need to be isolated.
By subtracting the number out of isolation and the number of deaths from the state’s cumulative total, that leaves 2,563 active cases of COVID-19 across the state.
