RELEASE: Rep. Sundin statement on new state guidelines to combat COVID-19

Thursday, November 19, 2020

SAINT PAUL – Wednesday night, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced a set of new public health guidelines aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19.

Rep. Mike Sundin (DFL – Esko) issued the following statement:

“COVID-19’s impact is real, harsh, and increasingly widespread. Our hospitals are running out of space, and tragically as of yesterday, over 3,000 people in our state have died. This is another difficult decision for the Governor, but it’s clear he’s putting the health and safety of Minnesotans at the forefront. We also can’t ignore the impact this dial-back will have on businesses, many of which are already barely hanging on. It’s time for the federal government to do its job and deliver the relief small businesses, families, and communities are counting on.

“My deepest appreciation remains with our dedicated frontline workers on duty around the clock to take care of Minnesotans. We owe it to them to do everything within our power to prevent this virus from continuing to impact people in our communities.”
