Two new cases of COVID-19 in Crow Wing County and six more in Todd County were reported Wednesday and Thursday, June 17-18.
Both of those who’ve tested positive in Crow Wing are health care workers, the county reported. This means of 92 cases reported in the county since the pandemic began, 19 are health care workers.
A new case recorded in Cass County — its 12th — will likely be attributed to a different county, according to county officials, so it is not counted in Dispatch statistics. Cass County Administrator Josh Stevenson previously stated there’s been confusion in case attribution between Minnesota’s Cass County and Cass County, North Dakota — home to Fargo and on the Minnesota-North Dakota border.
