Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter announced Wednesday a temporary policy for establishments serving indoor food or beverages.
View the full order from Minneapolis here and from St. Paul here.
The policy, which applies for licensed businesses at which food or drink is served indoors, will require customers to either show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative PCR or antigen test taken within 72 hours of the visit.
City officials said the policy will take effect on Jan. 19. There is not an explicitly listed expiration date for the policy, but Frey said the policy is meant to be temporary.
Officials said those defined as being fully vaccinated are those who completed the original course of shots — either the two-shot Pfizer or Moderna series or the single Johnson & Johnson shot.

The remaining struggling restaurant and bars will be further hamstrung with these new mandates. Add to that the fact that a growing number of citizens are terrified to venture into Minneapolis and St. Paul because they fear for their lives.
Smooth move, Mayors. You just killed what was left of your cities.
To flatten the curve, y’know.
It’ a critical public health issue, that’s why they are waiting for the 19th before it starts. /S
Another reason to not go there...
“a temporary policy”
They passed a similar “temporary” vaccine passport law in my city.
Well, the law may be “temporary” but my refusal to patronize a business that asks me my personal medical information will be quite permanent, I assure you.
Let them lose business. That area has been a shithole for years.
It would be great if a whole lot of Americans ( regardless of their medical decisions) ) decided that dining out is really not essential enough to succumb to tyranny for
Even just for 30 days
Walz has state flags flown at half-staff every month on the 19th. Because, you know, Covid-19.
I’m not kidding.
I already started doing that. Our city also enacted a 4% health insurance surcharge to your order on top of the emergency minimum that was $19.50. Any restaurant that wants to force me to mask and over charge me will not get my business or concern when they close. They all circled jerked themselves into a closing.
I can be a super spreader if I’m vaccinated.
Thank God I moved out of Mpls. just over a year ago.
maybe they should just install voting machines, that way anyone can get in!
Do the Twin Cities mayors know that there are other cities around who will be happy to serve those without vaccination or COVID test papers? Vote with your feet and dollars, people.
I see where convention centers are not exempt from this mandate. So what are unvaxxed visitors to do for dining and entertainment? Grab a cab and go outside city limits?
If I was a meeting planner, I’d tell these officials in no uncertain terms they lost my business.
Another communist city off my list! May the Bolshevik be with them…
I have had to do this, show vaccine card, ever since this damn thing started. I live in a suburb of Seattle. To go out to eat, to go to a movie, to go to a grocery store, etc.
I am so very sick of this thing
Won’t the latest Supreme Court decision negate these orders?
They’ve been on my “nope” list to revisit for a loooong time, along with quite a few others.
Drip, drip, drip.
