The Minnesota Department of Health reported 419 newly reported cases of COVID-19 and 12 newly reported deaths, bringing the state’s cumulative total to 31,296 cases and 1,325 deaths.

Of those deaths, 1,051 were residents of long-term care or assisted living facilities. Of those positive cases, 3,250 were health care workers.

Approximately 448,587 have been tested for COVID-19 and 27,404 patients no longer need to be isolated.

There are 351 Minnesotans in the hospital with COVID-19 symptoms, and of those, 181 are in intensive care.

No new cases of COVID-19, or deaths, were reported by MDH in north-central Minnesota.
