Testing and positivity rates
The 7,444 positive results in Monday’s update were from a total of 51,207 completed tests, creating a daily test positivity rate of 14.54%.
Those completed tests were from 24,764 people. People are often tested more than once, so the test positivity rate when dividing positives by people tested is 30.06% 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 14.91%.
