National survey, some statewide metrics show Minnesotans seeing less COVID

National survey, some statewide metrics show Minnesotans seeing less COVID

Last week we presented the results of our reader survey, which indicated that many of you thought COVID-19 was circulating in your communities more in recent weeks than it had been at any other point in the past year.
