The death toll in Minnesota from COVID-19 reached 1,466 on Friday, with an additional eight deaths.
The state data reports another 423 confirmed infections, increasing Minnesota’s total number of cases to 37,624. The actual number of cases is likely much higher as the data only represents those who have been tested for the virus, state officials say.
Of the state’s total deaths, 1,150 were long-term care or assisted living center residents.
The Minnesota Department of Health will not be updating the state’s COVID-19 numbers on July 4 due to the holiday.
