***From Minnesota Department of Health***
- Because all MDH data is preliminary, the change in numbers of cumulative positive cases and deaths from one day to the next may not equal the newly reported cases or deaths.
-
MDH has changed when they are reporting positive cases from the date the sample is tested to the date the sample was obtained. There is a gray box in the “positive cases” chart that can be confusing. It is not indicative of an actual plateau in cases rather a change in reporting methodology.
- For the dates of 05.30.2020 and 06.01.2020, the MDH lab was closed due to civil unrest in the metropolitan area. Some samples were sent to other labs for testing but not all specimens were compatible for testing processes at other labs and were held until operations resumed.
