Minnesota health officials on Saturday released the names of long-term care facilities in the state linked to a positive COVID-19 case.

State epidemiologist Kris Ehresmann said the positive test could be from a resident, staff person or contractor who was in the facility during their infectious period. Only facilities with 10 or more residents are listed, and she cautioned against jumping to conclusions about the facilities.

"This is not intended to suggest that these facilities are in any way not doing the right thing by their residents. It's simply being transparent," she said. "The fact that some facility is listed on our website does not mean necessarily that there is a flaming crisis within that facility."

The release of the list came as officials reported Saturday that 24 people in Minnesota have died from COVID-19, up from 22 the previous day.

Meanwhile the overall number of confirmed cases in the state increased to 865 on Saturday, up from 789 on Friday. It’s the largest single-day increase in cases so far in Minnesota.

Among other updated numbers released Saturday by the Minnesota Department of Health:

• 95 people are hospitalized due to COVID-19, with 42 in intensive care.

• 440 people with confirmed cases of COVID-19 have recovered to the point of no longer needing isolation.

• State and private labs have completed 25,423 tests, about 1,200 more than on Friday.

Cases have now been reported in 58 counties across the state, though officials said that limited testing means the coronavirus is certainly more widespread across Minnesota than testing indicates. About a third of cases have been attributed to “community transmission” — meaning there was no clear link to travel or other known cases.

The two deaths reported Saturday were a 100-year-old resident of Winona County, who was living in a group-care setting, and an 89-year-old resident of Martin County, who was not. Martin County, on the Minnesota-Iowa border, continues to account for the largest number of cases outside of the Twin Cities metro area and Rochester. The total number of Martin County cases stands at 32.
