Minnesota ends February with sharp decline in COVID-19 deaths

Numbers are incomplete for February, but match other indicators of a declining pandemic wave in Minnesota

COVID-19 deaths reported in February are only half the total reported in January in Minnesota, another sign of the declining pandemic wave.

The Minnesota Department of Health on Tuesday reported another 22 COVID-19 deaths, raising the state's overall pandemic toll to 12,131 and its total in February to 414. The state also reported 2,142 coronavirus infections that were identified over the weekend and more than 1.4 million over the past two years of the pandemic.

While the February number will increase with delayed reporting and verification of COVID-19 deaths, it remains well below the 1,067 deaths reported in December at the peak of the delta variant wave, and the 873 reported in January during the omicron wave.
