National survey, some statewide metrics show Minnesotans seeing less COVID

National survey, some statewide metrics show Minnesotans seeing less COVID

Last week we presented the results of our reader survey, which indicated that many of you thought COVID-19 was circulating in your communities more in recent weeks than it had been at any other point in the past year. This week, we have the latest results of a more scientific poll – the Household Pulse Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Metrics show less COVID, but we want to hear your experience

Metrics show less COVID, but we want to hear your experience

The metrics this week don’t show much change in COVID activity compared to the last few weeks. Anecdotally, however, the APM Research Lab has been hearing about more cases than any time in the recent past. And, COVID-19 levels in wastewater — a potential early warning tool — are up across much of the state. So, we’re curious, have you been hearing about more COVID cases in your network of late?
