ST. PAUL — Gov. Tim Walz on Thursday, May 6, will announce a timeline for lifting all COVID-19 restrictions in Minnesota.
The announcement will come little more than a year after the novel coronavirus made landfall in Minnesota, and one day after the state reported the full vaccination of more than 2 million residents.
"As millions of Minnesotans are getting vaccinated, Governor Walz is making plans to wind down COVID-19 restrictions and get Minnesota back to business as usual," Walz's spokesperson Teddy Tschann said in a news release. "The vaccine is here and it has proven to be our best tool to control the virus. It’s time to roll up our sleeves, get vaccinated, and crush the virus."
