Long-term Care Facility Outbreaks

MDH tracks outbreaks of acute respiratory illness in Minnesota K-12 schools during the school year. Long-term care facilities (nursing homes and assisted living facilities) report when an outbreak of influenza or RSV has occurred as well as the number of cases of COVID-19 in their facility. 
Note: The most recent weeks on the graphs are marked as “data pending” as we know information is not complete. 

  • All data are preliminary and may change as information is received. Data trends are based on statewide rates.
