Tune into your local TV or radio news channel daily at 2 p.m. for coverage of the state's COVID-19 response. TV stations generally only carry the daily briefing when the Governor participates, but radio stations such as MPR air each one. You can also tune into the Governor-led briefings on his YouTube channel.
We’re taking cautious, strategic steps toward getting people safely back to work.
Our objectives for moving forward:
On December 16, Governor Walz announced new targeted measures to further limit spread of COVID-19. While some of the restrictions are easing, others are continuing, and there is an updated plan for our youngest learners at the K-5 level. We’re not moving the dials back; rather, we are keeping measures in place to help our health care heroes care for those who fall ill, get our kids in the classroom, keep our businesses open, and get back to the activities we love.
