Minnesota Hospitalizations Due to Virus Exceed 400
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota cases and hospitalizations driven by coronavirus variants in recent weeks continue to steadily climb, even as officials accelerate the state's vaccination progress.
Just over 400 patients are hospitalized due to complications from COVID-19 as of Tuesday, including 102 in intensive care — the most since late January, according to the state's dashboard.
