Gov. Tim Walz will join the Minnesota Department of Health in giving an update on the COVID-19 situation in Minnesota on Monday afternoon.
The governor and MDH Commissioner Jan Malcolm will talk about the state of the pandemic through data trends, according to a news release.
They're scheduled to speak at 2 p.m. It will be streamed live on the governor's YouTube channel here.
Walz's address comes after a holiday weekend in which health officials urged people to only celebrate with their immediate household in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19.
What's more, Minnesota on Wednesday recorded its highest single-day death figure of 101.
As of Sunday, MDH has reported 3,578 deaths in Minnesota caused by COVID-19, with 1,125 deaths coming in November. In October, 423 people died from the disease.
Since the start of the pandemic, 312,969 Minnesotans have tested positive for COVID-19.
