The number of schools listed by the Minnesota Department of Health as having coronavirus outbreaks jumped 74 percent over the past week and now stands at more than 400 buildings.

Altogether, 996 school buildings have reported infections, with 486 having just one case, according to the state Department of Health’s weekly report. The remaining 511 schools have multiple cases.
