CORONAVIRUS
COVID-19, commonly referred to as the Novel Coronavirus, is a topic of concern around the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United States have declared COVID-19 a public health emergency. The situation is being taken very seriously by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), Local Public Health (LPH) and Emergency Management (EM). However, the declaration is not an indication of alarm or fear but rather a time to stay informed. Below are credible, accurate sources for up to date information:
- Centers for Disease Control
- Minnesota Department of Health
- Stay Safe MN
- MN Dept of Health Helpline 651-297-1304 or 1-800-657-3504
