We also learned Mayo staff is contracting the virus from community spread, but the number of staff members who are currently infected with COVID-19 across the Midwest has decreased slightly compared to last week.
"Over the weekend we did see a drop in the number of tests that were being done which might be a sign that we are having less people being exposed in the community," Mayo Clinic Executive Dean Amy Williams said.
Nearly a week ago, we learned more than 900 staff members at Mayo Clinic Health System were diagnosed with COVID-19 over the previous two weeks.
On Tuesday, Williams said the clinic has been able to stay on top of things.
"We do have staff to cover the gaps that are created by COVID, but the more gaps we see the harder it will be to cover them," Williams said.
As of Tuesday, Williams gave a situation update on patients hospitalized across Mayo Clinic Health System.
