Stay at Home Extended, Retail Allowed to Open
Yesterday, the governor announced an extension of the Stay at Home order until May 18th, along with a modification to the policy on retail stores. Beginning May 4th, retail and other non-critical businesses may begin offering curbside pick-up. According to the governor, this will allow up to 30,000 more Minnesotans back to work.
I’ve heard from many small business owners who have been forced for weeks to close their doors, even though they are able to implement plans to safely serve customers just like the big box stores are allowed to. Our community is home to many businesses who simply cannot survive being shut down for several more weeks. I urge the governor to take that into account, and for those businesses that can operate safely, I hope he will allow them to open as soon as possible.
Guidance for Elective Procedures
The governor also announced today that he will be modifying the executive order on elective procedures in the coming days. From yesterday, April 30, to noon on Saturday, May 2, the Minnesota Department of Health will be collecting feedback and input online. You can view their draft guidance and complete a public comment survey here.
