Deja vu: B-B-E zip codes post a 3 for second straight week

In the May 5 zip code report released by the Minnesota Department of Health, the Belgrade, Brooten and Elrosa zip code areas (56312, 56316 and 56325) posted a three for new COVID-19 cases over a one-week period. This number compares to three reported in the April 28 and a two for new cases reported by the M.D.H. in the April 21 zip code report for this area.

The May 5 report mirrored exactly what the April 28 report showed: two new cases reported by the Brooten zip code, one in the Belgrade zip code and none for the municipality of Elrosa (56325).

Other area zip codes will be added in the coming days to this web article.
