St. Paul, Minn -- Early this morning, the Minnesota House of Representatives unanimously passed emergency COVID-19 health care funding, which provides $200 million in investments for a health care response fund and Minnesota’s public health response contingency account. Representative Kelly Morrison (DFL-Deephaven), a practicing physician, released the following statement:
“Minnesota is fortunate to have a strong public health sector and world-class health care providers working hard to keep us healthy.
