State public health leaders worried for weeks about Minnesotans carrying COVID-19 back with them from the massive Aug. 7-16 motorcycle rally in Sturgis, S.D. It didn’t take long for cases to start rolling in.

The toll so far? Fifty direct infections, evidence of secondary spread — and one death, the first in the nation linked directly to Sturgis and the coronavirus.

This is an MPR News morning update for Thursday, September 3, 2020. Hosted by Cathy Wurzer.
