TWO HARBORS, Minn.– Minnesota Governor Tim Walz yesterday announced the loosening of many restrictions beginning today including getting rid of mandatory closure times at bars and restaurants while eliminating outdoor dining limits. We caught up with leadership from Castle Danger Brewery in Two Harbors who says they’re eager to operate in a more normal capacity as they hope it’s a more laid back summer.
“We’re going to not have reservations anymore outside, so people can just come in, grab a spot outside, which people usually want first rather than indoor seating because its so beautiful outside and to enjoy the weather,” said Donna Wood, Castle Dangers Taproom Assistant, “so we’re just really excited to get people back in, and just have good beer, even if we do have restrictions people still love to come here.”

MINNESOTA (KVRR) Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announces his plan to end statewide COVID-19 restrictions.
“We’re going to have a summer where just the simple things will be back again,” Walz said.
Walz’s new plan to reduce COVID-19 restrictions could put an end to some requirements May 28 if the state reaches a 70 percent vaccination rate.
This Friday some restrictions on outdoor activities will be removed.
“At noon we begin these steps. No capacity or distancing outside at outdoor events, no mask requirements for outdoor venues smaller than 500. Restaurants there’s no occupancy limits outside or distancing requirements,” said Walz.

Are we free at last? The big news is that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is to end his mask decree no later than July 1 and withdraw size restrictions on business and social gatherings on May 28. Effective at noon today, size limits on outdoor gatherings are out. Mandated early closing times at bars and restaurants are eliminated. Other restrictions continue in place, all as set forth in Walz Emergency Executive Order number 21 of 2021 under the alliterative heading “Safely Sunsetting COVID-19 Public Health Restrictions.”
The loosening of restrictions is taking place despite the fact that “most indicators of pandemic activity are above caution thresholds for Minnesota,” as Jeremy Olson puts it in his Star Tribune story on Walz’s announcement. Whichever way Walz flops, Olson and the Star Tribune will be on hand to flop with him.

This morning (on May 6, 2021), Minnesota Governor Tim Walz issued Emergency Executive Order 21-21, which adopts a three-phase plan to relax or eliminate nearly all COVID-19 restrictions on businesses and social gatherings by May 28, and end the mask mandate no later than July 1 (and possibly sooner). Today’s Executive Order amends or rescinds 24 previous emergency executive orders.
All companies with operations in Minnesota should familiarize themselves with today’s Executive Order, which contains significant new rules some of which take effect as soon as tomorrow. Minnesota employers that are planning to bring employees back to work or that have employees who already work from a physical worksite should carefully review the new guidance.
