Gov. Walz Extends 'Stay at Home' Order to May 4
April 9, 2020
Governor Walz April 8 extended the Stay Home Order until May 4 in order to continue Minnesota’s success in slowing the spread of COVID-19 across the state. The order contained a number of exemptions for certain businesses and industries. Further exemptions were said to be under study.
According to a statement from the Governor's office, the order to stay home is forecasted to significantly slow the spread of COVID-19, pushing out the peak of the disease and allowing the state to continue key preparations for the pandemic. These preparations include building new hospital capacity and buying ventilators and masks, planning for how to protect those most at risk, expanding testing, and freeing up time for health care giants like the Mayo Clinic to develop critical treatments for the virus. The Stay Home Order is now extended to 11:59 pm on May 3, 2020.
