Gov. Walz Unveils Timeline To End COVID Restrictions, With Mask Mandate Ending By July 1

Script: Boozhoo, aaniin, I’m Cole Premo, here’s your Daily Update.

MinnesotaGov. Tim Walz has unveiled a three-step timeline to end all COVID-19 restrictions
in the state, including the mask mandate.

Accordingto Walz, the first step, which was implemented at noon on May 7, will be the
further loosening of restrictions to places primarily in outdoor settings. This
includes removing capacity limits for outdoor dining, events, and other
get-togethers. The mask requirement will also end for outdoors except for large
venues with over 500 people.

Themandatory closing time of 11 p.m. will also end for bars and restaurants.

Thesecond phase of the plan is ending capacity and social distancing limits on May
28. These include ending the requirement for face coverings indoors and for
outdoor events that exceed 500 people.

Thethird phase, ending the mask mandate, will happen when 70% of the state’s
eligible population has received at least one dose of the vaccine. That’s
expected by the end of June, so the mandate will end by no later than July 1.

Localgovernments will still be able to set their own mask policies and other
requirements beyond July 1. Walz says the timeline of ending restrictions comes as the most at-risk Minnesotans
— seniors, educators and front-line workers — have received their vaccination.

Walz says additional protections will remain in place, including an eviction
moratorium and a ban on price gouging.

As for schools, since those under 16 years old have yet to become eligible for
vaccination, the Safe Learning Plan will continue until the end of the school
year.
