Today’s Covid-19 Update for Thursday, September 24 2020

09/24/2020

Roseau County has 122 Positive Cases; with 0 new cases reported today; 12 ACTIVE Cases; 110 having recovered (out of isolation).

The World Health Organization says that a 14-day positive test rate of below 5 percent is the key to keeping businesses open.

Thursday’s update includes 995 new positive tests for the coronavirus, 83 of which have been removed for an official count of 912 cases. Those positives are the result of 12,900 people tested, creating a 24-hour reporting period test positivity rate of 7.1%.

The positive test rate is lower from the perspective when the number of individuals producing positive tests (912) divided by total completed tests (21,159). In that case, the positivity rate is 4.3%.

The “tests completed” number is always higher than the “people tested” metric because some people get tested multiple times and those who test positive are only counted once, so it produces a less accurate positivity rate.

Three more people were added to the death toll in Thursday’s report.

Statewide:

  • Total tests: 1,895,302 (up from 1,873,867)
  • People tested: 1,336,851 (up from 1,323,951)
  • Positive cases: 93,012 (up from 92,100)
  • Deaths: 1,988 (up from 1,985)
  • Patients no longer requiring isolation: 83,862 (up from 83,507)
