The Minnesota Department of Health on Tuesday reported an increase of 11 cases, bringing the county’s total to 1,019 cases since March 19.
According to Community Health Division Manager Pam Kellogg, a change in the reporting system this weekend altered the numbers a little and added delayed reporting. Because of the changes, she did not have a number of active cases available.
Mower County now ranks tenth among Minnesota counties with the most cumulative COVID-19 cases, down from ninth last week.
Neighboring counties on Tuesday reported the following cumulative cases: Dodge (113), Fillmore (48), Freeborn (329, 1 death), Olmsted (1,436, 21 deaths) and Steele (290, 1 death).
