MN recommends that schools make decisions about their safe learning model based on
the number of cases by county of residence in Minnesota over 14 days, per 10,000 people.
The state
publishes this number
once a week on Saturdays for the previous 14 days (e.g., 7/25/2020 includes cases between 7/12/2020 and 7/25/20).
The visualization below shows those official weekly numbers (circles) but also tracks
this number daily (bars) for the county you select from the right sidebar. The number is calculated using
state county population estimates from 2019
and joined with the data provided by the New York Times
(https://github.com/nytimes/covid-19-data)
