Minnesota State System Data

Northwest Technical College reports weekly COVID-19 case data to the Minnesota State system.

This system reporting data represents only a subset of the total positive cases that we are aware of among our employees and students. In order to provide as transparent and accurate a picture as possible of the COVID-19 conditions on campus, we are also sharing this more inclusive data.
