Gov. Tim Walz on Wednesday will announce he is extending his current monthlong ban on indoor bar and restaurant service through the year-end holidays; he’ll also detail a strategy to get elementary schools back to in-person learning, an aide to the governor said Tuesday night.
News that the restrictions will continue is likely to come as a blow to the thousands of bar and restaurant owners and workers across the state. Those businesses have been forced to do takeout-only or delivery the past few weeks as health officials worked to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Those restrictions were set to expire on Friday.

Distribution of the vaccines began Sunday, with doses of the vaccine going to 636 predetermined locations across the U.S., Army Gen. Gustave F. Perna said during a news conference on Saturday.
