Roseau County has 1056 Positive Cases; with 52 new cases reported today; and 3 accumulated deaths.
Tuesday’s COVID-19 update from the Minnesota Department of Health includes more than 6,400 new cases and 38 more deaths, pushing the state’s death toll from COVID-19 to 3,303.
The 38 newly reported deaths puts Minnesota’s death toll in November alone at 850, which is more than double the number of deaths reported in October (423) and closing in on 200 more deaths than the second-deadliest month (May, 696 deaths).
Of the newly reported deaths, 21 were residents of long-term care facilities, who have accounted for 68% (2,244) of all COVID-19 deaths in Minnesota.
The 6,423 positive results in Monday’s update were from a total of 53,173 completed tests, creating a daily test positivity rate of 12.08%..
Those completed tests were from 24,167 people. People are often tested more than once, so the test positivity rate when dividing positives by people tested is 26.58% 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 13.26%.
