State Rep. Jack Considine (DFL – Mankato) released the following statement:
“The near future is going to be full of uncertainty and challenges for Minnesotans, but we’re all lucky we have such dedicated, quality health care professionals in our state. The investments we have made in our COVID-19 response will help make sure our health care providers can provide the care Minnesotans impacted by COVID-19 will depend on.
