• Effective today, May 14, residents visiting city facilities are no longer required to wear face coverings or physically distance.
• The CDC recommends those who are not fully vaccinated to continue wearing face coverings indoors.
• Private businesses may still require face masks inside their facilities and the public should follow those requirements.
• Minnesota's Safe Learning Plan, along with existing face covering guidance for schools and child care settings, remain in effect.
