Statement Supporting State-wide Mask Mandate
July 22, 2020
“The Minnesota Medical Association thanks Gov. Walz for requiring all Minnesotans to wear face masks in indoor public places and businesses.
Late last month, the MMA and the state’s physicians urged public and private leaders across Minnesota to require the wearing of face masks or face coverings to help control the spread of COVID-19. Since that time, we’ve seen a number of cities and businesses agree that this was a sound strategy to help protect the health of their communities.
Wearing masks is an important and safe tool in the fight to slow the spread of COVID-19 along with maintaining social distancing, washing your hands, staying home when you’re sick and getting tested if you have symptoms. These are all ways that Minnesotans can practice good health. Wearing a mask is important because the virus can be spread by people who don’t have symptoms or know they are sick.”
