COVID-19 Media Briefings
MDH and our partners hold regular media briefings to provide COVID-19 updates. These briefings are typically at 2 p.m. daily, but sometimes shift due to scheduling considerations.
Some news outlets (TPT, MPR, KARE 11, local news radio stations, and more) broadcast the entire briefing on air, their websites, or Facebook pages where the public can listen in.
