Stay at Home Extended, Retailers May Open With Restrictions
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 to close their doors, even though they have the ability to implement plans to safely serve customers. Our community has many businesses who simply cannot survive being shut down for another several weeks. I hope the governor will allow the stores that can implement safety plans in accordance with the Minnesota Department of Health's guidance to open as soon as possible.
If you are a small business owner, please feel free to reach out to me with ideas and concerns about re-opening your business. My contact information is below.
Guidance for Elective Procedures
The governor also announced yesterday 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 You can view their draft guidance and complete a public comment survey here.
