Governor’s Update
Reminding us that we are in a marathon, Governor Walz announced that Minnesota is beginning to move the dial on opening the economy. Today’s informative Daily Briefing by officials focused on how the state will proceed, noting that the factors to consider when loosening restrictions include public health, social distancing and well-being. Some businesses may begin opening as early as Monday. Restrictions will be loosened for settings where physical presence is critical, but where customer interaction is not present. This will impact mostly industrial and office settings, and every setting that re-opens must have a detailed plan. No specific word on when hospitality businesses will begin to open, but it’s clear they are on the other side of the dial from where we are now.
Tomorrow’s Daily Briefing will do a deeper dive on the announcement that students will not return to their schools this school year.
