<br />2. Paragraphs 6 through 8 of this Executive Order are effective as of Tuesday, June 9,
<br />2020 at 11:59 pm.
<br />3. Masks and face coverings strongly encouraged. I strongly encourage all
<br />Minnesotans to wear a manufactured or homemade cloth face covering when they
<br />leave their homes and travel to any public setting where social distancing measures
<br />are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies) and to follow face
<br />covering guidelines issued by MDH and the CDC until this Executive Order is
<br />rescinded. As set forth below, Minnesotans may be required to wear cloth face
<br />coverings in certain settings. Such face masks and coverings are for source control (to
<br />help limit the person wearing the covering from infecting others). They are not yet
<br />known to be protective of the wearer and therefore are not personal protective
<br />equipment.
<br />4. At-risk persons. All persons currently living within the State of Minnesota who are
<br />at risk of severe illness from COVID-19, as defined by Executive Order 20-55, are
<br />strongly urged to stay at home or in their place of residence and follow the provisions
<br />of Executive Order 20-55.
