Coronavirus figures for Minnesota continue to go up, as do the number of fatalities, while Gov. Walz signs legislation aimed at helping the state's efforts to stop the disease's spread.
The Minnesota Department of Health reports that the 441 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the state now includes five deaths.
That's one more fatality than reported on Friday and a rise of 43 total cases.
Minnesota's latest COVID-19 related-death involves a Hennepin County patient who was in their 70's.
The virus has turned up in 41 counties, with Hubbard County in northwestern Minnesota reporting its first case.
The largest community in Hubbard County is Park Rapids.
Statewide, 14,003 caronavirus tests have been administered, with 51 of the cases requiring hospitalization at one time.
A total of 34 of those cases remain in the hospital.
Saturday morning, the governor signed into law allocating $330 million in coronavirus aid for Minnesota.
Lawmakers quickly approved the bill in a one-day special session on Thursday, many of them voting remotely to follow social distancing guidelines.
