This past weekend, new restrictions meant to tamp down the spread of COVID-19 took effect in Minnesota under the guidance of Gov. Tim Walz. Once again, restaurants, bars, fitness centers and youth sports are required to make adjustments in an effort to turn around the stark upward trend in cases the state has been seeing.

Two MPR News reporters brought us up to speed on how the state is responding to a staggering number of new cases each day as well as the rising death count.

Plus, MPR News senior economics contributor Chris Farrell was back for a weekly Monday morning chat about the economy and other money matters.

Guests:

  • Catharine Richert is an MPR News senior reporter based in Rochester covering the coronavirus pandemic. 

  • Peter Cox is an MPR News reporter who covers the aging beat, including what’s happening at long-term care facilities during the pandemic.

  • Chris Farrell is senior economics contributor for MPR News.
