Abbreviations: COVID-19 = coronavirus disease 2019; IQR = interquartile range; MDH = Minnesota Department of Health.
* The denominator includes all higher-risk HCP exposures, not the number of individual HCP exposed.
† Other settings include home health, hospice, adult foster care, pharmacies, and mental health and substance use treatment centers.
§ The denominator for these results includes HCP that were enrolled in symptom monitoring after April 7, the date that MDH began asking HCP if they had been asked to return to work and if they had returned in daily symptom monitoring surveys. Denominators include acute-care hospital (n = 1,028), skilled nursing (n = 902), assisted-living facility (n = 471), group home (n = 191), outpatient (n = 146), other (n = 305), and total (n = 3,043).
