Update on Bar Seating
During yesterday's Hospitality Round Table with state officials, the Department of Health confirmed that restrictions on the size of parties seated at the bar has been eased. It is now possible to seat parties of 4 (6, if members of the same family) at the bar, with 6' of social distance space between parties. The Guidance on the Stay Safe MN website has been updated.
Public Awareness Campaign

Through billboards, ads, social media and by engaging key influencers, the campaign has reached 4.5 million Minnesotans to date. The presentation provides information on the tactics used, including maps of billboards statewide, and the results the campaign has seen so far.
