COVID-19 cases linked to pre-K-12 schools appear to have peaked in Minnesota, though recent preliminary data suggest they could be rising again amid a lingering pandemic wave. More than 3,000 students had coronavirus infections while in their school buildings in the week ending Oct. 2, but the weekly count of school-linked cases dropped to a preliminary total of 751 in the last week of October. They have since increased, though, to a preliminary total of 996 in the first week in November. Breakthrough infections are an increasing part of a prolonged COVID-19 pandemic wave in Minnesota, according to new data released Friday, but people who are unvaccinated still face the biggest risk and take up more hospital beds.
