ST. MICHAEL, MN — For the first time in months, no St. Michael schools were included on the Minnesota Department of Health’s weekly list of facilities with coronavirus outbreaks.

Three St. Michael schools — St. Michael-Albertville High School, STMA Middle School East and Fieldstone Elementary — were named on last week’s list alongside STMA Middle School West and Albertville Primary, which are also in the STMA school district.

The total number of coronavirus cases among students since Sept. 7 climbed above 1,000 after 105 new cases were added in the final week of January, according to the COVID-19 data dashboard for STMA schools.
