For the foreseeable future, MinnPost will be providing daily updates on coronavirus in Minnesota. Here are the latest updates from March 15, 2020… (thread)
There is confirmed community transmission of COVID-19 in Minnesota, the Minnesota Department of Health said Sunday in a phone press briefing.
Of the 14 new cases, six were in Hennepin County, four in Ramsey, one in Olmsted, one in Waseca, one in Washington and one in Dakota. The ages of the patients ranged from 20 to 94. One of the 14 is hospitalized.
“People who are 70 and older or people of any age who have underlying health conditions that put them at a higher risk of serious illness form COVID-19 should stay home and avoid gatherings or other situations of potential exposures including travel.”
Gov. Tim Walz issued an executive order and held a press conference Sunday to announce Minnesota’s K-12 schools will be closed to students between Wednesday March 18 and March 27.
Because testing capacity isn’t unlimited, MDH is asking health care providers to rule out other respiratory diseases, like flu, before testing for COVID-19.
