We stand with Minnesotans in fighting for racial justice. Our society's continued struggle with violence and racism – particularly structural racism – is a fundamental public health challenge. It is also our responsibility to remind people participating in community events to take steps to limit the spread of COVID-19. Stay home if sick, try to stay 6 feet from others, wear a mask, and get tested. https://www.health.state.mn.us/news/pressrel/2020/statement052920.html

As we move to the next phase of COVID-19, it is more important than ever that we protect those most at risk, support workers, and all do our part to slow the spread. Please continue to:
- Wash hands often
- Get tested when sick
- Stay 6 feet from others
- Wear a mask
- Stay home when sick
- Work from home when able

As we move to the next phase of COVID-19, remember to stay at least 6 feet from others in public places like stores. This will help protect you from catching or spreading germs.

If you need to go out, wash your hands for at least 20 seconds before leaving your home, throughout the day, and when you return home. If you aren't able to wash your hands throughout the day, use hand sanitizer.

With Minnesota's COVID-19 testing plan, anyone with symptoms should get tested. This helps us better understand how the disease is spreading. Clinic testing capacity can change day to day, so call ahead. Check your symptoms and find a testing location at https://mn.gov/covid19/for-minnesotans/if-sick/. #StaySafeMN
It's helpful to have a two-week supply of essentials at home in case you or a loved one gets sick. Think about what you and your family need, and avoid overbuying.

In times of pain and grief, we want to come together for support. COVID-19 makes this more difficult. Help slow the spread:
- Wear a mask
- Stay 6 feet apart
- Wash hands or use hand sanitizer often
- Stay home if sick
COVID-19 spreads through droplets when a sick person coughs or sneezes. They can land on the mouths and noses of people within 6 feet, and also on surfaces that people touch. Wash your hands often, wear a mask, and stay home when sick. https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/prevention.html
If you have symptoms of COVID-19, you should get tested. Symptoms can include fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills, headache, muscle pain, sore throat, or loss of taste or smell. Other less common symptoms include gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Not everyone with COVID-19 has all of these symptoms, and some people may not have any symptoms.

Minnesotans are adapting their shopping habits during the COVID-19 pandemic. Remember to:
- Plan ahead by making a list
- Wear a mask
- Be quick
- Wash or sanitize your hands before and after
- Clean the cart or basket handle with a wipe
- Stay 6 feet from others
Staying home if you're sick and maintaining social distance when you're out is helping Minnesota slow the spread of COVID-19. What does social distancing look like in our everyday lives? It means staying at least 6 feet from others.

Are you using your mask correctly? Follow these tips when buying, wearing, and using masks. Some people with health conditions might not be able to wear a mask, so be kind and wear a mask if you can.

My mask protects you, and your mask protects me. Wearing a mask or cloth face covering helps stop your germs from spreading to others. It's one more thing you can do to slow the spread of COVID-19.
https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/prevention.html #StaySafeMN
Homeless shelters, child care centers, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other places where lots of people live or gather are in need of homemade masks and face coverings. If you are making cloth face coverings, consider donating them to these settings in your community. Please call ahead to make sure they can accept donated face coverings.

Staying home helps slow the spread of COVID-19. It can also make it harder for people to reach out to others and take care of their mental health needs.
