'Peacetime state of emergency' declared in Minnesota amid COVID-19 concerns
Peacetime state of emergency' declared in Minnesota amid COVID-19 concerns
In light of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns, Minnesota is entering into a peacetime state of emergency.
Gov. Tim Walz made the announcement about the state of emergency, which will last for five days, on Friday.
State leaders will have the option to extend the state of emergency for another 30 days. After 35 days, the legislature would be required to approve another extension.
Walz announced the creation of several legislative proposals, including a COVID-19 emergency fund. That fund would expand access to testing and paid leave for employees who must stay at home.
