A statewide conversation with Minnesota’s Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan.  It is a time for all of us to learn about the State of Minnesota's response to this COVID-19 pandemic.   

This week the Lt Governor answered questions about how the school year is going, travel to boarder states like Wisconsin and the Dakotas as well as new saliva testing in Duluth and "No Barriers" testing from the MDH like next week's in Bemidji.

The Minnesota Department of Health is holding free Covid-19 testing Tuesday September 29th, Wednesday September 30th, and Thursday October 1st, from noon to 6pm at the Bemidji Armory. Testing is open to everyone, with or without symptoms, and no insurance is required. To keep your wait time to a minimum, schedule an appointment online at www dot Primary Bio dot com, slash r, slash Bemidji or call 855-612-0677.

As the Lt. Governor reminds us each week "You may be over the virus but the virus isn't over you."
