79 Dakota County Schools On MDH's COVID-19 Outbreak List

DAKOTA COUNTY, MN — 79 schools in Dakota County are currently on Minnesota Department of Health's list of schools that have had recent COVID-19 outbreaks, amid a surge of the new omicron variant.

There were 72 schools on the list last week.

The list is updated every Thursday.

A school has 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."
