Join me in a nationwide #AskTheAG Q&A session on Friday, May 1 at 12PM.

Do you have questions about how we can protect workers, prevent evictions, stop price-gouging, and avoid scams during the #COVID19 pandemic?

I’ve got answers.

That’s frustrating and scary. I’m sorry that’s happening. I’m glad you’re staying at home and protecting yourself. I know DEED is overwhelmed. Although, we don’t administer UI you can always call my office at [phone] and we can try to help you get through DEED. I see you.

We are very concerned about our seniors in long term care facilities and they’ve been hotspots. We’ve been monitoring as we’ve been receiving complaints. Also, we are working with our partners in government and community. Call us if we should pay attention to a specific facility.

Also, some long care facilities have video conferencing equipment available. While it’s not the same as human contact, or can be helpful for communicating with loved ones and give a way to connect with the outside world.

Thanks for taking care of yourself and others by wearing a mask. There is currently no state requirement to wear a mask. That is Chipotle’s policy to require masks. I hope they would enforce their own policies.

That is a terrible issue and I hope it’s not happening in your family or to any of your loved ones. It’s illegal — COVID-19 or not. We’ve partnered with the US Attorney’s Office and Minnesota County Attorney’s Association to make sure no one’s loved ones are taken advantage of.
