The Minnesota Department of Health has released the latest COVID-19 numbers and the good news was there was only one death in the last 24 hours. Polk County still only has one positive test. Polk County Public Health reminds us that “Not all cases of COVID-19 are tested, so it is not a representative of the total number of people in Minnesota who have or had COVID-19. Totals reflect only the results from laboratory testing. All data are preliminary and may change as cases are investigated.”
Minnesota Commissioner of Health Jan Malcolm today announced state health officials confirmed a total of 194 positive COVID-19 tests, equaling 1,621. The total reflects data that is current as of 8 p.m., April 11.
