According to the Department of Health, 37,421 tests have been completed, including 9,385 through the Minnesota Department of Health’s public health lab and 28,036 through external laboratories. 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, the state department said.

Data is current as of 4 p.m. the previous day.
