(St. Paul, MN) — Governor Tim Walz is predicting “we’re going to have a great summer” after announcing a three-step plan to end to COVID restrictions in Minnesota.
The governor asks for help from all Minnesotans in getting people vaccinated.
“This is a process you can go in, the whole process will take 5 minutes they’ll monitor you for 15 minutes and you’ll be back doing whatever you need to do. You need to help Minnesota now, I’m asking you, give us a hand, to get this last little bit.”
Capacity limits on outdoor gatherings in the state will be lifted tomorrow (Friday). Walz said, “we’re going to ramp up, step up and put our foot down on the gas on the vaccinations, we end the covid statewide restrictions by May 28th, and we’ll drop the state mask mandate by July 1st, or if we can hit 70% vaccinations.” So far, more than two million Minnesotans have received the full series of COVID shots. Republicans are still calling on Walz to end his COVID-related emergency powers.
