Next phase of Minnesota reopening

Gyms, restaurants and more

If you want to enjoy a nice meal... you won't have to do it in the summer heat.

You can open the door and take a seat inside.

(opens door) today... gov.

Tim walz announced minnesotans can head back inside restaurants... gyms and fitness studios.

Restaurants... salons and barbershops can move to 50 percent capacity and gyms can open at 25 percent capacity.

Rochester mayor kim norton tells me it's a "good day" for businesses around the state.

Canadian honker owner joe powers doesn't hold his feelings "we were so dependent on nice weather.

That's the hard part about all of it.

The other thing about it too, let's face it, we can't live on this.

We can't live on just outdoor seating.

You can't pay the bills, you can't pay the overhead."

It was just recently when mayor kim norton sent this letter to the governor asking him to reopen bars and restaurants at 25 percent capacity.

We'll hear from her tonight on kimt news 3 at 10.

Live in rochester ib thanks isabella.

Walz says part of the reason he is easing restrictions is due to increased testing.

On thursday ?

"* the state passed 11?

"* thousand tests.
