Testing remains a critical component in our efforts to stop the spread and to help keep everyone safe. I highly recommend signing up for the COVIDAware App on your smart device; it’s privacy-protected, free, and will notify you if you’ve been near someone who has received a positive COVID-19 test.
We are close to reaching the end of the pandemic, but we can let our guard down now. Testing coupled with increased shipments of vaccine, and following public health guidelines will help us get there. Let’s stay vigilant by continuing to wear a mask, washing our hands, keeping our distance from others, and avoiding large gatherings.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance.
Thank you for the honor of serving our 33B residents and families in the Minnesota House.
Sincerely,
Kelly
