In 1918 WW I victory celebrations led to a spike in influenza cases. Minnesota Governor limited this spike by closing saloons, cafes, soda fountains, and even chop suey restaurants. The order was obeyed. Rules may differ today, but #StayAtHomeMN continues to keep Minnesota safe.
"The city health commissioner was emphatic, however, in his statement that schools, theaters, churches and other public meeting places would not be permitted to open until danger of another epidemic had been reduced to a minimum."
#StayHomeMN
