Coronavirus Outbreak Coverage

MDH said Sunday that an approximate total of 1,422 patients had been tested for COVID-19. That doesn't factor in tests done by private labs, including Mayo Clinic, who told KSTP it had tested about 500 cases as of Sunday. The labs will only report positive tests to MDH, not the total amount of tests, the department said.

Among the new confirmed cases are patients from Waseca and Washington counties. Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Olmsted, Ramsey, Renville, Stearns and Wright counties already had confirmed cases. Of the 14 new cases confirmed Sunday, Dakota, Olmsted, Waseca and Washington counties each had one patient while four were in Ramsey County and six in Hennepin County.

As for the ages of those new cases, MDH said six in were in their 20s, two were in their 30s, two in their 40s, three in their 50s and one in their 90s. One of the new patients is hospitalized, bringing the state's total to two hospitalized patients.
