Minnesota
Governor Tim Walz has put in place similar measures as Rhode Island and also issued a “social gathering limit” throughout the state. The gathering limit restricts those in Minnesota from spending time in a social setting with those from outside their household. The Democrat governor urged people to skip Thanksgiving and not have friends or family come to their homes. According to Gov. Walz, bars and restaurants must end dine-in service by 10 p.m.
“Except as specifically permitted in this Executive Order, social gatherings are prohibited,” the Walz executive order says. “Social gatherings are groups of individuals, who are not members of the same household, congregated together for a common or coordinated social, community, or leisure purpose—even if social distancing can be maintained. This prohibition includes indoor and outdoor gatherings, planned and spontaneous gatherings, and public and private gatherings.”
