The positivity rate is now at 6.6% in the State of Minnesota as communicated to us at the Stearns County Public Health Zoom conference last week. In the latest comparable numbers to last year's metrics, we are now at 51 according to the website mentioned last week. We did have one confirmed case of COVID in our first week and one confirmed case last Friday. As of now, we have not tracked any transmission in our buildings.
Below is a visual I thought I would share with you. The first graph shows what would happen if vaccines did not make a difference. In the second graph, it shows what actually happens in a one-week period showing the difference in death rates with unvaccinated and vaccinated people.
Get Vaccinated
Wear a Mask
Social Distance when possible
Stay Home If you are Sick
Homecoming Week this week!
If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact me or any of the building principals.
