(KNSI) – A private school in St. Cloud has been added to the Minnesota Department of Health list of buildings that have reported five or more COVID-19 cases in a two-week span.

Prince of Peace Lutheran School, 4770 County Road 120, was one of 21 schools added to the list on Thursday.

The weekly report lists schools with five or more reported cases within 14 days. Schools will be removed from the list after they have no lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases for 28 days.

On Thursday, one school in Ramsey county was removed from the list.

No other schools in Stearns, Benton, Sherburne, Wright or Morrison counties were listed Thursday.

According to the MDH, schools on the list do not necessarily have ongoing transmission; however, five or more people were inside and tested positive for COVID 19.

Public, private and tribal school districts must report any positive COVID-19 tests in their staff and students to the health department.

The department of health says 410 school buildings have reported at least one school-related COVID-19 case.
