This week the Lt Governor answered questions about the upcoming school year, large gatherings, unemployment and more.
In part of the conversation, Lieutenatnt Governor talked about the importance of not JUST cloth masks to keep the pandemic at bay, but that social or physical distancing is equally as important.
Dr. Michael Osterholm from the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota says "face coverings are one tool to fight the pandemic, but they alone will not end it. And we need to underscore the key role that physical distancing plays - even WHEN you wear your face covering."
