Join us as we promote public health by participating in I♥️Public Health Month. Throughout the month we will be posting pictures, videos, quotes, and various stories from This is Public Health (TIPH) Ambassadors sharing why they are passionate about the field. #ThisIsPublicHealth
Be a hero in your community. Wear a face covering over your nose and mouth. Keep your distance. Wash your hands. It could save lives.

Many Minnesotans could have #COVID19 and not show symptoms. Wearing a mask or face covering acts as a barrier to stop droplets and prevent you from unknowingly spreading the virus to others. Do not wear a mask with a valve, as this could actually allow more of your germs out.

I signed a bill today raising the age to purchase tobacco products to 21, which will help stop addiction before it starts, improve public health, and save young lives.

Our lives will look different for quite some time. As we move forward, I want you to know how we're making our decisions. Before we turn these dials, we will carefully consider public health, economic and societal impacts.

Guests will NOT be allowed @ CCC initially due to the current climate. That also means driving range will not be open to the public until further notice. If you are interested in joining-paperwork needs to be completed prior to showing up. So get those apps in ASAP! #MembersOnly

These are trying times. But we are Minnesotans. We see challenges, and we tackle them. No matter how daunting the challenge; no matter how dark the times; Minnesota has always risen up—by coming together. If we unite as One Minnesota, we will save lives. #StayHomeMN

The virus will still be here when this two-week period is over, but we’ll be better prepared. We will work with our health care sector, manufacturers, business community, and strong-spirited Minnesotans across the state to tackle this virus head on. #StayHomeMN

We must take bold action to save the lives of Minnesotans. As a former Command Sergeant Major in the Army National Guard, I believe in having a plan – which is why I’m directing Minnesotans to stay at home and limit their movements to essential services. #StayHomeMN
