Stay Safe and Prevent the Spread of COVID-19

Each person or family has their own unique risk when it comes to COVID-19. The Stay Safe MN website offers resources and tips for staying safe as we begin to reopen Minnesota as safely as possible.

As more businesses, organizations, and recreational areas open up, it is very important for all Minnesotans to continue taking steps to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Wash your hands. Get tested when sick. Stay 6 feet away from others. Wear a mask. Stay home when able. Work from home when able.

Health Equity and COVID-19

Health equity means everyone has the same chance to be as healthy as possible. Minnesota on average is one of the healthiest states in the country. However, not everyone in Minnesota has the same chance to be healthy.

The general health of Minnesotans of color and American Indians is very different from those who are white.

General health is also very different in LGBTQ and other communities: people with disabilities; those who live in rural communities; and people who are homeless or have unstable housing. Some Minnesotans are part of more than one of these communities.

Things that can get in the way of being healthy also play a part in the unequal way that COVID-19 is affecting some Minnesota communities.

For more information, tools, and resources, visit Health Equity and COVID-19.


Great Outdoors Month

During the summer months, many Minnesotans want to get out and enjoy the many great parks, lakes, and trails we have available to us. We also want to take advantage of the nice weather to get together with family, friends, and neighbors. Refer to the resources below for some tips for doing these things safely.
