Walz to temporarily close bars, restaurants and fitness centers as COVID-19 cases surge



The new restrictions come as COVID-19 hospitalizations hit a new high in the state. 
Gov. Tim Walz will impose new restrictions on bars, restaurants and fitness centers starting Friday, closing them down to the public for four weeks as COVID-19 cases surge across the state.
Bars and restaurants will still be allowed to offer takeout services during that time, according to a source with knowledge of the restrictions. The new restrictions will also include a temporary pause on youth sports.
Walz will deliver an address to Minnesotans at 6 p.m. Wednesday to discuss the latest steps in his response to COVID-19.
The closures come days after the governor implemented a 10 p.m. curfew for bars and restaurants and put restrictions on bar seating and games.

This toolkit will continue to be updated daily as new information and resources become available. Please continue to check back for updates. Click HERE for Toolkit
