COVID-19 Dashboard

Hopkins is committed to the goals of Vision 2031 and the health and safety of our students and staff.

Our COVID-19 Dashboard is designed to help families, staff, and the community understand the data points that most impact what is happening in our schools. These data points will be updated regularly and new components will be added.

COVID-19 Case Trends on a Rolling 14-Day Period

cases per 10,000 residents 8/30=32.5 9/6=31.7 9/13=35 9/20=38.7 9/27=39.7 10/4=43.5

Current Rate
(9/21-10/4)

43.5

This number represents the number of positive cases in Hennepin County per 10,000 residents. The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) use this number to recommend the learning model we should operate in. You can learn more about these guidelines in the Learning Model section of our data dashboard.

The gray area of the chart on the left represents the minimum and maximum data points from Hopkins and surrounding cities where students and staff reside. This data is important because it helps us evaluate the level of impact based on the transmission rates in individual areas.

The number of positive cases per 10,000 residents is reported weekly from Hennepin County.

COVID Live Data

Let Us Explain The Data

Let Us Explain The Data

Hopkins Public Schools is a geographically large district spanning 30 miles from Golden Valley into Minnetonka and even parts of Eden Prairie. Some of our students also live outside our school district boundaries. The first two rows of the Hennepin County information chart below represent our Hopkins Community data which is based on the top cities where students and staff reside. The first row represents the community area with the lowest COVID-19 number per 10,000 residents and the second row represents the community area with the highest number. The third column represents county data.

We have provided data from the Minnesota Department of Education's Safe Learning Plan. The data impacting the Hopkins district comes from Hennepin County, the same source referenced in the charts above. However, the data shared from MDE is on a timeframe that is two days behind what is shared directly from Hennepin County, which is why the numbers are slightly different. Because MDE's data may be referenced more frequently in the news and by other districts, we wanted to provide both here.

The local Hopkins Public Schools data will be collected on Thursday by 5 p.m. and posted on Friday by noon (*note the next update will be Friday, Oct. 1). The data represents the number of confirmed positive cases for students and staff who are participating in in-person learning models. The quarantine and exclusion data reflects staff and students in all learning models who are unable to return to school due to close contact with a positive case, possible exposure to a confirmed positive, or symptoms.
We are sharing the quarantine and exclusion data for all staff and students to give the community an understanding of our ability to staff learning models and provide a picture of how COVID-19 is impacting our community.
