CoVID-19 knowledge observers will pay particular attention to Wednesday morning’s statistical publication to see if the small number of new instances reported Tuesday was an anomaly or the onset of a positive trend.
After several weeks of outbreaks of new instances, the Ministry of Health reported Tuesday that 332 showed instances consistent with the day, less than in the last days and the lowest number in more than a month.
This figure, however, is accompanied by a major warning: new screenings for the disease have decreased especially compared to a few days ago, so they are unlikely to sign a replacement in the current course of the disease. There is no quick explanation for the decrease in testing.
Here are the statistics on coronavirus in Minnesota:
61839 instances shown (332 new) 1177935 tests
1666 deaths (six new)
5661 requiring hospitalization
337 more people remain hospitalized; 147 in intensive care
55151 patients who no longer need isolation
Overall, COVID-19 figures repeated an upward trend in the number of new cases, even though the deaths remained at a figure.
While existing hospitalizations and extensive care cases remain well below their peak at the end of May, they have shown a upward change in recent weeks, with damn perseverance. Tuesday marked the twelfth consecutive day with three hundred or more hospitalizations underway, a trend that had not been noticed since mid-to-june.
Concerns persist about the expansion of COVID-19 among Young Minnesota, and adds the fact that other inflamed people spread the virus inadvertently to grandparents and other more vulnerable people.
People in their twenties remain the age organization with the number of cases shown of COVID-19 in the pandemic: more than 14,000.
However, knowledge of the last few days shows that Minnesotans under the age of 20 have the age rating with the maximum number of new cases shown as COVID-19, which exceeds 20.
The average age of inflamed Minnesotans has tended to decline in weeks and is now 36 years.
At the regional level, dual cities and their suburbs were the basis for the count of new reported cases. But the disease is present in all parts of the state, adding the north, which has largely moved away from the epidemic until recently.
Many of the fastest growing population outbreaks are found in northern Minnesota. Beltrami County, Bemidji’s home, has noticed a stable in recent weeks. The county reported 244 cases Tuesday.
Meat packaging operations had been hot spots for primary epidemics in southwest, central west, and central Minnesota at the start of the pandemic, but new cases have slowed significantly in recent weeks.
Wednesday’s counts come two days after Minnesota fitness officials, involved in reports of discouraged residents of long-term care, implemented new instructions designed to open the door more widely to visitors.
“Loneliness, depression, isolation and pain are security issues,” Aisha Elmquist, the state’s deputy villager for long-term care, told reporters as she and public fitness officials answered questions about the latest COVID-19 data.
“Everyone wants others,” he added, “including those living in long-term care facilities.”
Most of the other people who died from COVID-19 in Minnesota lived in long-term care centers. This toll is one of the reasons why long-term care has faced severe restrictions for visitors.
In early May, Walz’s management unveiled a “battle plan” to protect Minnesotans living in long-term care facilities, adding expanded evidence, more non-public protective devices for fitness personnel, and a promise of “adequate” staff in the event of illness. .
This has helped reduce the number of deaths to a figure for the maximum part. Now, however, officials are concerned that these gains will disappear as COVID-19 spreads across the state.
They said they were seeing new cases similar to long-term care amenities that they felt were largely due to network expansion and inadvertently passed on to facility staff as restrictions on daily life subsided and others returned to indoor collection spaces. and attended events in the family circle.
The overall in long-term care is “pretty positive,” Malcolm said Monday, noting that 90% of assisted living centers in Minnesota and 71% of professional retirement homes had not had COVID-19 cases in the 28 years 28 days that followed.
However, state epidemiologist Dr. Ruth Lynfield suggested others keep an eye on the spread of the disease (dressed in masks in indoor collection sites, social remoteness, and hands) and warned that paintings to restrict the spread among vulnerable populations at risk as others returned. Public spaces.
“It is fragile and we are very involved in the progress we have made being threatened, and it would possibly even be lost, if we abandon our precautions,” he said Monday. “We want everyone in Minnesota to do their part to restrict transmission. We’re all connected to each other.”
Duluth canceled his fireworks display, scheduled for Labor Day weekend.
The city and the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center had postponed the fourth of July fireworks demonstration through Labor Day due to COVID-19 issues. But Mayor Emily Larson said the cases had advanced far enough to organize the fireworks holding.
Last year, another 10,000 people saw the fireworks from Bayfront Park in Duluth. Existing state rules allow a maximum of 250 people for indoor events.
