Minnesota reports all-time high of confirmed COVID-19 infections from unknown sources

Minnesota's COVID-19 dashboard reported Tuesday that a new high of 38% of confirmed novel coronavirus infections came from unknown community sources.

The rate is above Minnesota's goal of no more than 30%, meaning the SARS-CoV-2 virus is spreading beyond the state's ability to track it and contain it.

While it's impossible to identify all sources of COVID-19, state health officials said this increase was an expected result of rising infection numbers and viral spread. They urged people to reduce their risks through mask-wearing and social distancing, which in turn will cut the rate of unknown infections.
