Roseau County has 1192 Positive Cases; with 50 new cases reported today; and 3 accumulated deaths.
After the high of 101 reported Wednesday, there was a significant drop in deaths from COVID-19 recorded in Minnesota on Thursday and Friday.
The Minnesota Department of Health reported 45 deaths on Saturday, which combines the delayed figures from Thanksgiving Day and the figures from Friday.
There were also 9,022 new COVID-19 cases reported.
Of the newly reported deaths, 23 were residents of long-term care facilities, who have accounted for 2,378 (67.5%) of the 3,521 COVID-19 deaths in Minnesota.
The 9,022 positive results in Wednesday’s update were from a total of 109,566 completed tests, creating a daily test positivity rate of 8.23%.
Those completed tests were from 47,874 people. People are often tested more than once, so the test positivity rate when dividing positives by people tested is 18.8% today.
The World Health Organization recommended in May that a percent positive rate (total positives divided by total completed tests) of below 5% for at least two weeks is necessary to safely reopen the economy. That 5% threshold is based on total positives divided by total tests.
According to Johns Hopkins University, Minnesota’s percent positive over the past seven days is 11.48%.

- Total tests: 4,121,906 (up from 4,012,802)
