(Moorhead, MN) -- A Moorhead residential facility is experiencing a deadly COVID-19 outbreak.

Eventide on Eighth Street says 70 residents and 22 employees have had COVID since March 8th, and three have died.

Officials do say the majority of residents have experienced mild symptoms. The CDC transmission rate in Clay County is considered high.

Medicare and Medicaid regulations prevent facilities from restricting visitation at the levels exercised in 2020, back at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
