639 MN Schools On Weekly Coronavirus Outbreak List

MINNESOTA — The Minnesota Department of Health's list of facilities with recent coronavirus outbreaks continues to grow each week, with 80 schools added Thursday.

There were 639 K-12 schools on the department's most recent list, up from 559 schools last week and 535 the previous week.

A school is considered to have an outbreak when it reports five or more confirmed cases of the virus in students or staff who were in the building while infectious during the most recent two-week reporting period.

"School buildings listed may not have ongoing transmission," MDH noted. "School buildings that have not reported a new case for 28 days will be removed. If five or more cases are reported in a school building in a subsequent 2-week period, they will once again be listed."

Here is the full list of Minnesota schools that have had an outbreak:
