As of March 11th, 2020 there are 3 reported corona virus cases in Minnesota - from Ramsey, Carver and now Anoka Counties.
Yesterday Governor Tim Walz signed into law a bill to put more money towards a contingency plan for the health of Minnesota residents, if the virus were to spread. We are working on interviews with Public Health Officials in northern Minnesota as well as with Dr. Michael Osterholm - director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) and you'll hear that conversation next week on Northern Community Radio.
Don't panic, keep these MN Dept of Health reminders in the forefront of your mind:
Take the same precautions recommended for avoiding colds and flu:
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough
