ST. PAUL, MINN. (KFGO) – More Minnesota bars and restaurants are facing legal action for violating the COVID-19 order banning in-person service.
The Minnesota Department of Health issued cease-and-desist orders and notices of license suspension to Jamieson’s on Main in Oslo and Long Pine Store in Pine. Investigators say Jamieson’s on Main was serving food on-premises on December 21st and the penalty notice was served on December 26th.
Lone Pine Store was open for in-person consumption of alcohol on December 18th.
Attorney General Keith Ellison’s office says Freeborn County District Court approved its request for a temporary restraining order against Pour House in Clarks Grove. The A-G sued Pour House last week for offering indoor on-premise dining.

Fewer Minnesotans sought COVID-19 testing as they finished shopping and meal preparations during the week before Christmas.
That s a 28% decrease from the week that preceded Thanksgiving, which was a time when Minnesota was adding new cases at record rates. We were super busy before Thanksgiving and then everything just kind of fell off a cliff, said Heather Dawson, vice president of laboratory services at Minneapolis-based Allina Health. Our positivity rate dropped at the same time, so it is hard to tell if it is fewer people getting tested or fewer people feeling ill, she said.
Still, 1.2 million test results were reported to the Minnesota Department of Health so far in December, which detected nearly 70,000 new cases.
