A lot has changed since Gov. Tim Walz first issued a peacetime emergency in response to COVID-19.

There have been over 65,000 cases confirmed in Minnesota since the pandemic began.

Young Minnesotans between ages 20-29 have the highest number of cases within a single age group.

However, around three quarters of the state’s confirmed COVID-19 deaths have been among people in assisted living or long-term care facilities.

What does the latest science tell us about what to expect in the coming months?

Monday at 9 a.m., MPR News guest host Stephanie Curtis and two guests opened the phone lines to answer your questions about COVID-19’s impact in Minnesota.

Guests:

Dr. David Hilden is vice president of medical affairs at Hennepin Healthcare.
