Hospitalizations
Hospitals are still operating at or near capacity throughout the state, but pressures from COVID-19, as well as influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), have decreased. New COVID-19 admits to hospital decreased to 7.9 per 100,000 from 9.5 per 100,000 last week. ED visits with a COVID-19 diagnosis decreased from 2.5% to 2.0%. Inpatient visits with a COVID-19 diagnosis decreased from 4.1 to 3.7%.
COVID-19 cases
Reported COVID-19 cases are down in almost every region of Minnesota. The exception is west central Minnesota, where cases (barely) rose in the past week of data.
Deaths
COVID-19 deaths in Minnesota gradually fell to around five deaths per day in late December after averaging around eight deaths per day in late fall. Mortality data is still coming in for early January, but the daily average has again gone up to an average of eight deaths and could rise further as data is finalized.
