Amid protests denouncing police brutality in the wake of George Floyd‘s murder, actress Jennifer Aniston has donated $1 million to Color of Change, a racial justice organization. Aniston did not announce the donation, but shared a link of the organization on her Instagram account.

Aniston has already shared her thoughts about racism. She admitted that the issue is a real thing in the U.S. “This week has been heartbreaking for so many reasons. We need to acknowledge that the racism and brutality in this country has been going on for a long time – and it’s NEVER been okay,” Aniston said.

“As allies, who want equality and peace, it’s our responsibility to make noise, to demand justice, to educate ourselves on these issues, and more than anything, to spread love.”

SPORTS FEEVER – June 11, 2020

Last weekend should have been the Minnesota State High School League State track meet, State Softball, and the State golf tournament should have been this week and State Baseball should have started today.  It is just another reminder of what we are missing out on, but most importantly what the kids are missing out on an amazing opportunity.

Enjoy another Sports Feever column and enjoy a beer at your recently reopened favorite Minnesota establishment for me!

The first-round of the Major League Baseball draft was held on Wednesday night.  The two highlights from the first round are below –
1. The Miami Marlins drafted the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers pitcher and Woodbury native Max Meyer with the #3 pick overall.  The only other Gopher taken that high in the draft was Paul Molitor, who was taken third overall by Milwaukee in 1977.
2. The Minnesota Twins selected Aaron Sabato of the University of North Carolina.  A power-hitting first baseman that according to the “experts” is a great pick that late in the round.  I guess we will find out in four to five years!

Other interesting Major League Baseball draft history info-
In 1979, the Kansas City Royals drafted both Dan Marino and John Elway.

Good news-

As of Tuesday (June 9), Minnesota State High School League is planning on starting the fall season beginning Monday, August 17.
The Commissioner of Education has promised guidance before July 31.  As we all know, these situations a very fluid, but this is good news.

While the plans call for everything to go as planned, we will know more by the end of July.  Let’s hope the COVID-19 numbers continue to trend the right way and fall sports can go as usual.

The University of Minnesota Crookston Golden Eagle Softball team received a double whammy this week when Mikaela Rodriguez signed to play softball next season at the University of Sioux Falls as a grad transfer.  Even though Rodriguez had an extra year to play at UMC, she graduated in May and made the correct decision to go to graduate school.  The bad news….she is going to another NSIC school and will enroll in USF’s Master of Business Administration program.  While it is tough for UMC Coach Travis Owen, I know he is happy and excited for Mikaela and will be cheering for her…except when she plays against UMC.
The daughter of Nancy and Rueben Rodriquez, she comes to USF after a senior season cut short due to CoVID-19. In her collegiate career, Rodriquez, who has earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in international business from Minnesota-Crookston (2020), totaled 13 home runs with 67 RBI during her time with the Golden Eagles.

As a sophomore transfer at Minnesota-Crookston, Rodriquez hit .301 with three home runs, 24 RBI and 20 runs scored.  During her junior campaign, Rodriquez hit .269 with 33 runs, six stolen bases, and a program-record nine home runs along with 25 RBI. Rodriquez, who had a .524 slugging mark and .361 on-base percentage, led UMC with 111 assists. Before the 2020 softball season ended this spring she had a home run, triple and .229 average in 16 games for the Golden Eagles. Golden Eagles.

Rodriquez played her freshman season collegiately at Briar Cliff University (NAIA, Sioux City, Iowa). With BC, she hit .286, scored 11 runs, collected seven doubles and had 12 RBI’s while posting a .357 slugging percentage. In the field, Rodriguez had a .940 fielding percentage with 75 putouts and 83 assists.

A standout at Betty H. Fairfax High School in Laveen, Ariz., Rodriquez had six career home runs, 18 doubles, and hit at least .386 in her final two seasons. In fact, she batted .418 as a junior with 27 runs, four home runs, 11 doubles and three triples. As a senior, she hit .386 with 10 runs, seven doubles, a triple and two home runs.

The NAIA is the latest college sports organization to cut events for the 2020 fall sports season.  Area schools include Mayville State, Valley City State, Jamestown, and Dickinson State.

The NAIA won’t start the fall sports season on time in the fall. The start of the football season will be September 12 and the season will only consist of nine games. The practice start date for all sports, will be Saturday, August 15. As a result, from today through August 14, any activities deemed practice by the NAIA are strictly prohibited.
Competition start dates are as follows:
All sports except football: September 5 (providing 3 weeks of practice prior to competition)
Football: September 12 (providing 4 weeks of practice prior to competition)
With the delayed start dates, there are fewer weeks to complete the season. As a result, the COP Executive Committee approved a reduction in the maximum number of contests as follows:
Cross Country: 7 meets, down from 8
Football: 9 games, down from 11
Men’s and Women’s Soccer: 14 games, down from 18
Women’s Volleyball: 22 dates, down from 28

The Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) Board of Directors recently approved the addition of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside as an associated member in wrestling beginning in the 2021-22 academic year. With the addition of UW-Parkside, NSIC wrestling will now have 10 participating institutions across a five-state area, the largest conference in NCAA Division II.

The nine NSIC wrestling schools, along with UW-Parkside also make up NCAA Division II Super Region Five.

UW-Parkside was a member of the Great Lakes Valley Conference from 2016 until 2018, before the school moved to the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletics Conference. Since that time, UWP has competed an independent, as the GLIAC no longer sponsors wrestling. Since instituting wrestling in 1969, UWP has amassed 17 individual National Champions (10 NAIA & 7 NCAA DII), 18 Top-10 team finishes, 144 All-Americans and 120 Academic All-Americans.

About NSIC Wrestling
NSIC wrestling schools consist of Augustana University; University of Mary; Minnesota State University, Mankato; Minnesota State University Moorhead; Minot State University; Northern State University; Southwest Minnesota State University; St. Cloud State University and Upper Iowa University.

JOKES

A devoted wife had spent her lifetime taking care of her husband. Now he had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she stayed by his bedside every single day.
When he came to senses, he motioned for her to come near him.
As she sat by him, he said, “You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you gave me support. When my health started failing, you were still by my side. You know what?”
“What dear?” she asks gently.
“I think you bring me bad luck.”

Two guys were sitting outside a medical clinic. One of them was crying, tears were pouring down his face.
The other guy asked, “Why are you crying?”
The first one replied, “I came here for blood test.”
The second one asked, “So? Why are you crying? Are you afraid?”
The first guy replied, “No. Not that. During the blood test they cut my finger.”
Hearing this, the second one started crying.
The first one was astonished and asked the other, “Why are you crying?”
Then the second guy replied, “I have come for a urine test.”

3 MINNESOTANS AND 1 FROM ILLINOIS ARRESTED CHARGED WITH LOOTING/ARSON CRIMES IN MINNEAPOLIS

United States Attorney Erica H. MacDonald today announced a federal criminal complaint against MCKENZY ANN DEGIDIO DUNN, 19 of Rosemount, charging her with conspiracy to commit arson. DUNN’s co-conspirators, SAMUEL ELLIOTT FREY, 19 of Brooklyn Park, and BAILEY MARIE BALDUS, 19 of Ramsey, have also been charged with one count each of conspiracy to commit arson.
According to the allegations in the complaints, on May 28, 2020, a health and nutrition store located in St. Paul, Minnesota, sustained damage due to vandalism and fire. On June 3, 2020, investigators with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) examined the store and determined that the fire and smoke damage was caused by arson. ATF investigators obtained video surveillance footage from inside the store on the night of the arson. Following ATF’s public request for tips and identifying information, investigators were able to identify DUNN, FREY and BALDUS in the surveillance video footage. FREY can be seen pouring flammable hand sanitizer onto a shelving unit and lighting it on fire. DUNN can be seen standing near the shelving unit holding a bottle of flammable hand sanitizer.
The ATF and FBI urge the public to report suspected arson, use of explosive devices, or violent, destructive acts associated with the recent unrest. Anyone with information specifically related to business fires in the Twin Cities can call 1-888-ATF-TIPS (1-888-283-8477), email ATFTips@atf.gov or submit information anonymously via ReportIt.com. In addition to fires, the FBI is looking for people who may have incited or promoted violence of any kind. Anyone with digital material or tips can call 1-800-CALLFBI (800-225-5324) or submit images or videos at FBI.gov/violence.
This case is the result of an investigation conducted jointly by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the FBI, the St. Paul Police Department, the St. Paul Fire Department, and the Minnesota State Fire Marshal Division.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Matthew S. Ebert and Joseph S. Teirab.
The charges contained in the complaint are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

United States Attorney Erica H. MacDonald today announced a federal indictment charging MATTHEW LEE RUPERT, 28 of Galesburg, Illinois, with civil disorder, rioting, and arson. RUPERT, who was initially charged in a federal criminal complaint on June 1, 2020, will be arraigned before a Magistrate Judge in U.S. District Court at a later date. RUPERT has been ordered to remain in detention pending further proceedings.

According to the allegations in the indictment and documents filed in court, on May 28, 2020, RUPERT posted messages on his Facebook account referencing the public protests occurring in the Twin Cities following the death of George Floyd, including one that stated, “I’m going to Minneapolis tomorrow who coming only goons I’m renting hotel rooms.” On May 29, 2020, RUPERT posted a self-recorded cell phone video to his Facebook account indicating that he was in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the video, RUPERT can be seen passing out explosive devices he possessed, encouraging others to throw his explosives at law enforcement officers, actively damaging property, appearing to light a fire in a building and looting businesses in Minneapolis.

According to the allegations in the indictment and documents filed in court, in the video, RUPERT stated, “They got SWAT trucks up there . . . I’ve got some bombs if some of you all want to throw them back . . . bomb them back . . . here I got some more . . . light it and throw it.” RUPERT makes these statements as he hands out an item with brown casing and a green wick to other individuals. The video also depicts RUPERT asking for lighter fluid before entering a Sprint store, followed by his statement, “I lit it on fire.” RUPERT then goes to a nearby Office Depot and states, “I’m going in to get [expletive].” RUPERT can be seen taking items from the store.

According to the allegations in the indictment and documents filed in court, on May 30, 2020, RUPERT posted messages on his Facebook account stating that he was headed to Chicago, Illinois. Specifically, RUPERT stated, “come with bro Chicago let’s go” and “We will be back bro we can loot til 2:30.” In the early morning hours of May 31, 2020, RUPERT posted multiple videos to his Facebook account showing him in and around the Chicago area. RUPERT can be heard saying “let’s start a riot” and “I’m going to start doing some damage.” At approximately 2:21 a.m., Chicago police officers arrested RUPERT and his associates for violating the City of Chicago’s emergency curfew order. Law enforcement officers searched RUPERT’S vehicle and recovered several explosive devices, a hammer, a heavy-duty flashlight, and cash.

WORK GETS UNDERWAY FOR THE NEW CROOKSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS BUS GARAGE

Site demolition and excavation is underway behind Highland Elementary for the new Crookston Public Schools bus garage. Dan Herrig is the lead contractor with Sand Steel Building Company out of Emerado, ND.  He said the excavation and foundation work will continue until mid-July when the buildings start going up. “Next week, we’ll be continuing with the excavation and that for foundations,” said Herrig. “The middle of next week, we’ll start on the foundations and footings with one building and move to the next building. That will proceed for the next couple of weeks and then do some earthwork to backfill for the buildings. Then we’ll proceed with the other trades for their rough-in work, underfloor and that. The middle of July is when most people will notice significant strides beginning and things sticking up in the air.”

Herrig said there were some initial delays with state permits due to low manpower at the state offices during the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, they aren’t expecting any production delays with materials now that the project has commenced. “We had some delays with the state permitting and that due to state manpower,” said Herrig. “Other than that, we’ve kind of built the schedule around where the lead times are at. All the sub-contractors the material supplies feel comfortable with where we’re projecting things to be.”

Sand Steel Building Company is also using a variety of local sub-contractors to complete the bus garage project explained Herrig. “We try to use as many local contractors as we can,” said Herrig. “H&N Quality Plumbing is the lead mechanical contractor. They’ll be handling the plumbing, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning work under their responsibility. The electrical contractor is from Thief River Falls. Gary DeBoer will be doing the wood carpentry, so he’ll primarily be framing the secondary building. And then, he’ll also be doing the interior buildout on the main building for us, so he’ll be heavily involved in the project. Crookston Building Center will be providing the wood framing materials and lumber for the project.”

Herrig said he believes they’ve set a reasonable timeline for construction and are projecting completion in December. “We’re projecting project completion in December 2020,” said Herrig. “We still see that as reasonable with where we’re at currently.”

GOVERNOR WALZ CALLS A SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION BEGINNING JUNE 12

special-session

As Minnesota continues to battle the COVID-19 pandemic and grapple with needed police reform following George Floyd’s death, Governor Tim Walz today announced that he will convene a special legislative session beginning on June 12, 2020. The Governor’s priorities will be to pass police reform and accountability and build a stronger and more equitable economy.

“Minnesota is at a turning point. This is our chance to take strong action to combat persistent structural inequities, pass substantive police reform, and build a stronger economy,” said Governor Walz. “I look forward to working with the legislature to seize this moment and build a brighter future for Minnesotans.”

“In this unprecedented moment, we must take unprecedented action on police accountability, equity, and economic recovery,” said Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan. “This is not business as usual. We have an extraordinary opportunity to create meaningful, lasting change. We cannot waste this moment with hesitation.”

The Governor supports the recommendations on police reform and accountability that will be introduced by the Minnesota People of Color and Indigenous (POCI) Caucus and the Attorney General’s Police-Involved Deadly Force Encounters Working Group. The proposals support use of force reform; funding for alternatives to policing; greater police oversight; voting restoration; community healing; and prosecutorial, investigatory, and training reform.

The Governor’s plan to build a strong and equitable economy will include his bonding proposal, the Local Jobs and Projects Plan, in addition to economic assistance for businesses impacted by COVID-19. The Governor will also work with partners at the community, local, state, and federal level to provide assistance for businesses impacted by the events in Minneapolis and St. Paul and plan for the future of these areas.

Governor Walz will also extend the COVID-19 peacetime emergency by 30 days to ensure the state can continue to quickly and effectively respond to the pandemic. Every state in the U.S. has declared a state of emergency allowing governors and other officials to quickly respond to rapidly-evolving threats stemming from COVID-19.

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA EXTENSION EDUCATORS SHARE OPTIONS AFTER DICAMBA REGISTRATIONS VACATED

uofm-extension-logo-2

By Lizabeth Stahl, Jared Goplen – University of Minnesota Extension Educators (Crops)

On June 3, 2020, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling that vacated U.S. registrations for Engenia, FeXapan, and XtendiMax herbicides. These are 3 of the 4 dicamba products that were labeled for use on dicamba-tolerant (DT) soybeans. This means that effective immediately, there is no longer a federal label for these 3 products and they can no longer be used in the United States. For more details, see the Minnesota Department of Agriculture press release at: https://www.mda.state.mn.us/three-dicamba-registrations-revoked.

While there will likely be legal challenges to the ruling, farmers need to be looking at alternatives now as the time for effective postemergence applications is upon us.

OPTIONS AT THIS TIME
Tavium (contains the diglycolamine salt of dicamba and s-metolachlor) is not included in this ruling, as it was not part of the 2018 two-year registration for Engenia, FeXapan, and XtendiMax. As a result, this is still an option for DT soybeans. Keep in mind the following application restrictions for Tavium:

  • Applications can only be made through the V4 stage of soybean. 
  • Applications can be no later than 45 days after planting, or no later than June 20 in Minnesota, whichever comes first. 

Soybeans planted in late April or early May will soon be reaching the 45-days-after-planting restriction. Applications should also be made when broadleaf weeds are small and no larger than 4 inches in height.

Group 9 (e.g. glyphosate), Group 2 (e.g. FirstRate, Pursuit), and Group 14 (e.g. Flexstar, Cobra, Ultra Blazer) herbicides are also options to use postemergence on DT soybeans. The key with all of these products is to make applications to small weeds, targeting weeds no more than 4 inches in height.

OPTIONS FOR PROBLEMATIC WEEDS
Joe Ikley (NDSU Extension weed scientist) and Tom Peters (U of MN/NDSU Extension sugarbeet agronomist) developed the following recommendations for several problematic weeds (copied with their permission and edited for use in MN):

Waterhemp – It is safe to assume that any waterhemp is resistant to ALS-inhibiting (Group 2) herbicides. Glyphosate-resistance is also present on most acres, though not all plants will be resistant. Glyphosate is most effective on waterhemp up to two leaves when applied at labeled rates with adjuvants. The best remaining options would be PPO-inhibiting (Group 14) herbicides, although resistance to this family is prevalent in MN as well. Flexstar (fomesafen), Cobra, or Ultra Blazer could all be used on small waterhemp. The addition of oil adjuvants will be important for weed control.

Common lambsquarters – Glyphosate has historically provided variable control of common lambsquarters. Harmony (thifensulfuron) will be one of our best options left for the Xtend acres.

Giant and common ragweed – Glyphosate, FirstRate, and Flexstar are the best remaining options for ragweed control. We do have populations of giant and common ragweed that are resistant to glyphosate and FirstRate, so do not expect control with either product on those populations.

It is important to remember some of the best practices for applying these alternate options. For instance, Group 14 herbicides are contact herbicides that work better with higher carrier volumes and smaller droplets. Flexstar can also have carryover issues for rotational crops like corn (10-month rotational restrictions) and sugarbeet (18-month rotational restrictions). Basagran is another herbicide option that can help control these weeds. However, we must reset weed control expectations compared to dicamba and target weeds smaller than 1 inch. Many weeds we are hoping to control may already be larger than 1 inch, so inconsistent control could be expected.

INCLUDE A RESIDUAL HERBICIDE
Another effective strategy is to tank-mix Group 15 herbicides (Dual, Outlook, Warrant, Zidua) with your postemergence applications, especially where waterhemp is problematic. The Group 15 herbicides will not control any emerged weeds but will help control later emerging waterhemp.

Early application of postemergence herbicides is key for effective control, especially when relying on contact herbicides like Flexstar, Cobra, etc. Including a residual herbicide will help control weeds that have not yet emerged at the time of application. These residual herbicides are not effective at controlling giant or common ragweed, but do a good job controlling waterhemp, with varying efficacy on lambsquarters.

Below are several Group 15 products labeled for POST application in soybean, along with their application windows. Be sure to check the herbicide label for additional restrictions on application rates, maximum rates that can be applied in a season, tank-mix partners, adjuvants, etc.

  • Dual II Magnum: From emergence through the 3rd trifoliate leaf stage.
  • Outlook: From emergence (cracking) to the 5th trifoliate leaf stage.
  • Warrant: After soybeans have completely emerged but before soybeans reach R2 (full flower).
  • Zidua SC: From emergence (cracking) to the 6th trifoliate leaf stage (corrected from original posting).

For more details on including a residual herbicide, see the U of MN article “Managing Waterhemp with layered residual herbicides,” available at: https://extension.umn.edu/herbicide-resistance-management/managing-waterhemp-layered-residual-herbicides.

CULTIVATION
Timely cultivation is also an option to include regardless of which herbicides have been applied. Where soybeans are planted in 30-inch rows, this can be a viable option. Research conducted at the Southern Research and Outreach Center in Waseca (2018-2019) shows that cultivation combined with a layered residual approach provides effective waterhemp control. In this study, residual herbicides were applied at planting and again 30 days after planting. Cultivation combined with a POST residual herbicide resulted in the best control of waterhemp.

Cultivation can also be a good option when weeds have exceeded target application heights or when emergency weed control is needed. It may not be feasible from a labor and timeliness standpoint to cultivate all your soybean acres, but targeting the weediest fields is a strategy to consider.

CAUTION: Mention of a pesticide or use of a pesticide label is for educational purposes only. Always follow the pesticide label directions attached to the pesticide container you are using. Remember, the label is the law.

The Minnesota Department of Agriculture provided an update on Monday, June 8th about the recent court ruling of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals regarding dicamba products: At this time Minnesota farmers can use XtendiMax with VaporGrip Technology, Engenia Herbicide, and FeXapan with VaporGrip Technology while following all federal and Minnesota label requirements. 

University of Minnesota Extension provided management options for the control of broadleaf weeds without the three dicamba herbicides listed in the original court ruling in a recent (June 5th) Crop News article, Options after dicamba registrations vacated. These recommendations are still valid if dicamba is not utilized.

Regardless of if dicamba-based herbicides are used or not, applicators should refer to the specific herbicide label and make applications to weeds that are four inches or smaller in height. Broadleaf weed growth has been very rapid given the recent warm weather, so timely herbicide applications are critical. Although timely applications are critical, avoid applications during adverse weather conditions, including the very windy conditions present throughout the state today, and forecasted for the first portion of this week.

UPDATE FROM DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Upon further review of state law and while awaiting guidance from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on the ruling of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals regarding dicamba products, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture will continue operating under existing pesticide program authorities. According to Minnesota law, an unregistered pesticide previously registered in the state may be used following the cancellation of the registration of the pesticide.

At this time Minnesota farmers can use XtendiMax with VaporGrip Technology (EPA Reg. No. 524-617), Engenia Herbicide (EPA Reg. No. 7969-345), and DuPont FeXapan with VaporGrip Technology (EPA Reg. No. 352-913) while following all federal and Minnesota label requirements. (Tavium Plus VaporGrip Technology (EPA Reg. No. 100-1623) was not part of the two-year federal registration and can still be used according to the label). The Department does not anticipate taking enforcement action against those who continue to appropriately use these products. This may change at any time pending additional guidance from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

“The Circuit Court of Appeals decision to revoke the use of these products was, unfortunately, very untimely for our farmers as many had already purchased the herbicide for this growing season,” said Minnesota Agriculture Commissioner Thom Petersen. “Timing is critical for farmers to apply the products and our further interpretation of Minnesota law allows us to use these products.”

As a reminder, all dicamba pesticide applicators in Minnesota must follow use instructions on the product label including the timing restrictions below. Dicamba products cannot be applied to dicamba-tolerant (DT) soybeans in Minnesota if any of the following conditions has occurred. Whichever cutoff time occurs first will determine whether a person can apply a given product to DT soybeans until June 20, 2020.

  • Forty-five (45) days after planting. The federal labels for XtendiMax, Engenia, FeXapan, and Tavium prohibit application more than 45 days after planting.
  • Once the R1 growth stage begins (beginning bloom). The federal labels for XtendiMax, Engenia, and FeXapan prohibit this. The R1 stage is when at least 1 flower appears on the plant on any node on the main stem. 
  • After the V4 growth stage. The federal label for Tavium prohibits application after the V4 growth stage. 
  • After June 20, 2020. The Minnesota Special Local Need (SLN) label, which must be in possession of the applicator at the time of application, prohibits this for all four dicamba products. The SLN labels are available on the MDA website at mda.state.mn.us/24c

In Minnesota, all four dicamba products are “Restricted Use Pesticides” for retail sale to, and for use only by, certified applicators who have complete dicamba or auxin-specific training.

MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH COVID-19 NUMBERS (JUNE 10)

2labgraph-21

The Minnesota Department of Health has released the latest COVID-19 numbers.  The state continues to conduct more tests and the numbers have stayed steady or even dropped.  There have been 352 new positive tests in the last 24 hours and 19 deaths.

Polk County is reporting 67 positive cases, Pennington has 37, Norman County has 16, Marshall County has 12, and Red Lake County has 4.  All the information is below- 

Updated June 10, 2020
Updated daily at 11 a.m., with data current as of 4 p.m. the previous day.

Data is for cases that were tested and returned positive. All data is preliminary and may change as cases are investigated. Many data points are collected during case interviews. Data presented below is for all cases, regardless of interview status. Data for cases pending interview may be listed as “unknown/missing.”

Not all suspected cases of COVID-19 are tested, so this data is not representative of the total number of people in Minnesota who have or had COVID-19. Cumulative numbers are since Jan. 20, 2020.

Because all data is preliminary, the change in number of cumulative positive cases and deaths from one day to the next may not equal the newly reported cases or deaths.

More about testing data

  • As of 6/5, tests are reported per test instead of per person to account for changes in testing capacity and for individuals who are tested more than once over the course of the pandemic.
  • Due to civil unrest in St. Paul and surrounding areas, the MDH Public Health Lab was closed from 5/30 – 6/1. COVID-19 specimens were not accepted and no tests were run during this time. When possible, samples were re-routed to partner laboratories.
  • Results from 4/29 and 6/3 included a backlog of tests loaded into our system. Previously we were not updating tests reported for past dates; going forward we will be updating that historical data.
  • Results from 5/4 and 5/5 were impacted by a technical glitch and 2000 tests were reported on 5/5 rather than 5/4. With the update on 6/5, these tests are counted on the correct date rather than a day later.
