Spread of coronavirus continues to slow down in Minnesota

The growth rate of newly diagnosed cases of COVID-19 is slowing in Minnesota, even as the number of tests to detect the viral respiratory illness continues to climb, the latest data showed Sunday.

The moderating trends are happening as the state prepares for its latest round of loosening restrictions on businesses and public places.

An executive order from Gov. Tim Walz will allow limited reopenings of dine-in restaurants, gyms and smaller entertainment venues on Wednesday, if the businesses take steps to control the spread of the virus.
