The Minnesota Department of Health released the latest COVID-19 results and the state had better news with 352 positive cases and three deaths. 9,602 tests were conducted for a 3.6% positive rate, which is half of the rate on Monday. Polk County remained at 95 positive cases, Pennington County is still at 60, Marshall County is reporting 23, and Red Lake County has five positive cases. All the numbers are below.
Updated July 21, 2020
Updated daily at 11 a.m., with data current as of 4 p.m. the previous day.
Data is for cases that were tested and returned positive. All data is preliminary and may change as cases are investigated. Many data points are collected during case interviews. Data presented below is for all cases, regardless of interview status. Data for cases pending interview may be listed as “unknown/missing.”
Not all suspected cases of COVID-19 are tested, so this data is not representative of the total number of people in Minnesota who have or had COVID-19. Cumulative numbers are since Jan. 20, 2020.
Daily Update:
Due to the transition in our data management system over the weekend of July 18-19 the process of assigning COVID-19 cases to specific dates was impacted for those cases reported on July 20-21. The total number of cases added for the two days was 1,272 (922 reported on 7/20 plus 352 reported on 7/21, with two cases flagged for removal during data verification), for a daily average of 636. This figure best represents the actual case load for Minnesota over those two days. The data management system transition impact is not expected to affect daily case number reports after July 21.
Because all data is preliminary, the change in number of cumulative positive cases and deaths from one day to the next may not equal the newly reported cases or deaths.
