Minnesota’s COVID-19 toll continued to climb Monday with 922 total new cases and an extra measure of heartbreak — the first death of a child in the state, a 9-month-old in Clay County.

The infant is among the youngest deaths in the country from COVID-19. The child did not have an underlying health problem and had not been hospitalized, Kris Ehresmann, the state’s infectious disease director, told reporters.

This is an MPR News evening update for Monday, July 20, 2020. Hosted by Britta Greene and Tim Nelson.

Our theme music is by Gary Meister.
