States with earlier exposure to fast-spreading coronavirus variant saw rapid peaks, and Minnesota could be next
Mayo Clinic's lab in Rochester processed a record 41,000 COVID-19 tests from its Midwest providers last week, and its pandemic modeling suggests a peak in coronavirus infections is a week away for Minnesota.
Mayo Clinic's COVID-19 model predicts Minnesota's record wave of coronavirus infections will peak Jan. 26 and rapidly decline.
A quick peak to Minnesota's fifth pandemic wave would be welcome news, with the state on Tuesday reporting another 10,651 infections and 29 COVID-19 deaths. Tuesday's report, which updated pandemic activity in Minnesota through 4 a.m. Friday, included the deaths of three Minnesotans younger than 50 and increased the state's toll in the pandemic to 11,000.
The omicron variant is fueling the wave, and the Mayo model has learned from its spread elsewhere, said Curtis Storlie, its co-creator. The peak could come as early as Saturday or as late as Feb. 1.
