Reopening Minnesota
Wednesday, June 10th marked Phase 3 of reopening the economy. This means that indoor dining is open at 50% capacity, with safety measures like masks and social distancing. Salons and personal services increase to 50% capacity as well, with all the same safety measures they are currently using.
New openings include pools opening at 50% capacity, fitness centers and theaters at 25% capacity up to 250 people, and churches at 50% capacity or up to 250 people. Additionally, Phase 3 includes social gatherings of 25 people or less. More information on these new guidelines can be found here.
While this is another step in the right direction, I am disappointed that these restrictions still seem arbitrary and unscientific. Instead of keeping businesses closed or severely reduced, we need to focus our efforts on protecting our nursing homes and long-term care facilities so we can begin the process of rebuilding our economy
