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

DAKOTA COUNTY, MN — 45 schools in Dakota County are currently on Minnesota Department of Health's list of schools that have had recent COVID-19 outbreaks.

There were 69 schools on the list when Patch last reported on this topic-Jan. 6.

Editor's note: Patch Editor Morgan Reddekopp was out of the office Jan. 13-17 which is why there was no report on MDH's list last week.

The list is updated every Thursday.

Editor's note: This information came from the Minnesota Department of Health. To view the list of schools on the current list, click here and search for "Cases in Pre-K through Grade 12 School Buildings."

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."
