Minnesota COVID-19 infections hit 742 with 53 new cases and 1 more death

Out-of-pocket treatment costs for some COVID-19 patients will be waived under an agreement announced Thursday with Minnesota's nonprofit insurers, as the virus sends growing numbers to the hospital.

Under the deal, announced by Gov. Tim Walz and the Minnesota Council of Health Plans, cost-sharing for corona­virus testing will also be dropped and more telemedicine options will be available for insured patients.
