MDH Holiday Celebration Guidelines
As Minnesotans plan holiday celebrations, it is important to think about how your plans may affect the spread of COVID-19. Consider the current level of COVID-19 infection in your community to decide whether to postpone or cancel holiday gatherings or to limit the number of guests. The Minnesota Department of Health has more information regarding this, and more on their website. Click the link below to view.
