Roseau County has 1004 Positive Cases; with 28 new cases reported today; and 3 accumulated deaths.
Minnesota’s death toll has reached 3,265 after a further 24 fatal cases from COVID-19 were reported Monday by the state health department, in addition to more than 6,300 new laboratory-confirmed cases of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
The 24 newly reported deaths pushes Minnesota’s death toll in November alone to 812, which is nearly double the number of deaths reported in October (423) and over 100 more than the previously monthly high of 696 in May.
Of the 24 newly reported deaths, eight were residents of long-term care facilities, who have accounted for 68% (2,223) of all COVID-19 deaths in Minnesota.
The 6,353 positive results in Monday’s update were from a total of 57,015 completed tests, creating a daily test positivity rate of 11.14%..
Those completed tests were from 26,682 people. People are often tested more than once, so the test positivity rate when dividing positives by people tested is 23.8% 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 13.87%.
