Connections - A Weekly Update from the City of Hopkins

Statewide Mask Requirement Begins July 25

On Wednesday, Governor Walz announced a statewide executive order requiring Minnesotans to wear face masks in restaurants, stores and other public indoor gathering places (unless alone), and when social distancing isn’t possible while working outdoors. The order goes into effect this Saturday, July 25. More information is available on the Minnesota Department of Health website here.
