As CentraCare prepares for a spike in COVID-19 cases in central Minnesota it's actually been pretty quiet at most of their facilities for several weeks now.
St. Cloud Hospital has had just one confirmed COVID-19 patient so far. CentraCare Dr. George Morris says that person has already been discharged from the hospital and is recovering at home.
I talked with Dr. George Morris from CentraCare on WJON today. He explained that Minnesota is doing well with social distancing which is helping to decrease the spread of this virus. As of 8 a.m. today Stearns County has 5 confirmed cases of Covid-19, Benton County has 1 and Sherburne County has 1.
