Stay at Home Replaced with Stay Safe MN
|
|
Under the "Stay Safe MN" order, state leaders are advising Minnesotans to work from home if they can and to wear masks when in public places near other people. The order also continues to advise social distancing. Additionally, Minnesotans are asked to get tested if they have COVID-19 symptoms and to stay home if they are sick.

Other ideas:
Go shopping at a time that’s less busy - If you type in the store’s name and location in Google search, a box often will pop up showing when foot traffic there is highest.
Wear a face covering - The new advice from the CDC on face masks is voluntary. The agency says the non-medical coverings can be "basic cloth or fabric masks." The New York City Health Department, recently put out a directive to citizens to cover their faces when outside their home.
Take germicide with you. Use it to wipe your hands and the cart before and after you shop.
Use a credit or debit card - That way, you don’t have to hand over bills or receive change. Also, use your own pen to sign receipts. If you can, use a virtual payment system like Apple Pay so that you don't have to open your wallet at all.

An Update from us on COVID-19
|
|
Updated April 17, 2020
- Total positive: 2,071
- o Patients who no longer need to be isolated: 1,066
- Total approximate number of completed tests: 43,053
- Deaths: 111
- Total cases requiring hospitalization: 518
- o Hospitalized as of today: 223
- o Hospitalized in ICU as of today: 106
Numbers are cumulative since Jan. 20, 2020.
The number of lab-confirmed positive tests among Minnesota residents will be updated daily on Situation Update for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) with test results from the previous day. The page also includes numbers by county.
The total number of cases is likely an underestimate, as we know the virus is circulating in communities. It is important for everyone to follow advice on community mitigation and social distancing to help us flatten the case curve.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that may cause illness in animals or humans. In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases, such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most recently discovered coronavirus is called COVID-19.
COVID-19 (scientifically named 2019-nCoV) is the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus, which was unknown to the public before the outbreak began in Wuhan, China in December 2019. (Source: World Health Organization).

It is extremely important that we educate our community on the true facts about COVID-19 and how important it is to follow guidelines so that our families can be well and safe!

Social distancing and other preventive actions are critical to containing and preventing the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. Recent media reports indicate that some residents may be unaware of these recommendations or unsure how to follow them. Please help promote the following messages in your community:
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.
- Cover your cough and sneeze. Cough or sneeze into the crook of your arm.
- Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands.
- Stay home when you're sick.
- Put distance (at least 6 feet) between yourself and other people, even when in small groups.
- Stay informed. Visit the Minnesota Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) websites often.
- Learn more about Sick and Safe Time. Sick and safe time is a law in Minneapolis protecting time off work.
