NEWS: Minneapolis Mayor @Jacob_Frey just announced the closing of bar areas in the city of Minneapolis.

I’ve been talking to the mayor about this in detail over the last week or so. This is the right move & will help head off major problems in the city & state.
The mayor did a large amount of thorough analysis to understand the data not just in Minneapolis, but we reviewed data from all over the country.
The mayor explored every possible option & permeatation.

He decided to act now instead of after community spread increases meaningfully from here.
Arizona has twice the community spread of Minneapolis & with testing running behind, the ability to contain any spread had virtually disappeared.

This step will prevent the worst.
I continue to encourage the state of Minnesota & other states to do the same. The Northern states should learn from the unfortunate experience of the South & West.
Florida, Texas and Arizona all opened their bars in mid-June and case growth soon followed.
The Mayor has made a number of accommodations to allow bar owners to convert bar space to meals & continue to serve outdoors.

Strong leadership @Jacob_Frey.
