The Minnesota Department of Health released the COVID-19 numbers for today and the state reported 2,857 cases with 25 deaths. 1 death was reported in northwest Minnesota, in Marshall County. As part of the data update, the Minnesota Department of Health is also adding the number of COVID-19 reinfections to the total shown under the Minnesota Case Overview of the Situation Update webpage. As of Nov. 1, Minnesota has had 8,184 instances of reinfections since the start of the pandemic. Of that total number, 587 were already included in the state’s case total as separate cases due to discrepancies in matching people with multiple tests. Including the remaining 7,597 reinfections in the case overview pushes today’s case figure to 10,454 — 7,597 are the reinfections being added and 2,857 are new cases.
Polk County reported 47 new cases with sixteen probable, Roseau County had 37, Pennington County had 18 with four probable, Norman County had 12 with one probable, Mahnomen County had 11 with four probable, Marshall County had 10 with two probable, and Red Lake County had 8 with one probable.

Updated November 1, 2021
Updated weekdays at 11 a.m., with data current as of 4 a.m. the previous business 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.”
Positive PCR test results are considered confirmed cases. Positive antigen test results are considered probable cases. All probable cases get the same public health follow up and recommendations as cases confirmed by PCR tests.
Daily Update:
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.
Note: Today we are adding the number of COVID-19 reinfections that have occurred throughout the pandemic to our case counts, which is why the newly reported cases number is much higher. Refer to Media Advisory: Reinfection cases added to COVID-19 web data today for more information.
