Gov. Tim Walz is asking Minnesotans to continue to stay at home unless absolutely necessary in order to slow the spread of coronavirus in the state. The “stay-at-home” order - and his extension on Wednesday - is his most sweeping executive action to slow the spread of the virus and help hospitals prepare for more patients. But it’s far from a total lockdown of the state.
What does Walz’s new order say?
The governor is extending the stay-at-home order to May 4. Originally he asked Minnesotans to stay home except for essential needs and services from March 27 to April 10, but he said the extreme social distancing measures were proving effective in helping to flatten the curve of cases.
What are essential needs and services?
The order still allows people to leave the house for things like groceries, gas, emergency medical services or supplies, caring for family members, friends or pets and moving between emergency shelters for those who are homeless. And people who work in “critical sectors” are exempt from the stay at home order, including health care workers, emergency responders, law enforcement, shelters, child care facilities, food production, utilities, the news media and critical manufacturing. Other workplaces are asked to shift to a telework and work from home model.

You can’t build something or make products from home.
Somebody has to actually produce something so all the keyboard warriors have something to email each other about..
I notice that it’s all Democrat leaders who embrace draconian measures that remind me of life behind the Iron Curtain.
LOL!!!
I can't....guess I'm not normal.
That was my thought ... “the news media” .... ???? ... why not keep them at home and kill two viruses with one stay at home order?
The Readers’ Comments on the UK Daily Mail strongly indicate otherwise.
See what happens if the gov cancels the fishing opener!!
Most manufacturing shops should be alright, as long as employees mind their manners and keep a little physical distance from each other. Most of those places are warm, dry, relatively sterile environments, where droplets of moisture won’t last long.
Viruses should deactivate very quickly in such shops, as long as they’re kept dry and well above 43 degrees, Fahrenheit (~ 6 C)—about 68 F during work hours. It would be best, if shop temps were higher during hours without a working shift where possible—as hot as the building could be without fire hazards or other hazards.
Humid supermarkets full of bodies are far worse.
Ah, and ventilation. Shops should be well ventilated without with outside air as much as possible.
Oops. Little typo there. Shops should be well ventilated with outside air as much as possible.
Ticked off fish?
