  • Minnesota ICU beds in use for COVID-19 patients reach new high

    May 26, 2020

    As Minnesotans observed Memorial Day, the official start of summer, the number of COVID-19 patients needing intensive care beds climbed to a record high of 248, increasing by the largest number in a single day. State Health Department officials who released the numbers Monday said they confirm earlier warnings that the numbers would inch up. https://www.startribune.com/covid-patients-needing-icu-beds-in-minn-climb-to-record-high/570752552/...

  • Coronavirus hit meat plants just as workers were being asked to speed up

    May 26, 2020

    The coronavirus began to spread through U.S. slaughterhouses this spring just when workers, already performing some of the most dangerous jobs anywhere, were being asked to take more risks by going faster. Even as the outbreak began to force plants to temporarily close last month, the U.S. Department of Agriculture continued granting permission to chicken processors to boost speeds by 25% on production lines. And the agency late last year approved an inspection system that would let pork plants...

  • Minnesota casinos begin to reopen with safeguards in place

    May 26, 2020

    Lady luck isn't the only thing guests will need to enter Mystic Lake Casino when it reopens Tuesday. They will have their temperature taken and need to wear a face mask. And the numbers allowed inside Mystic Lake, one of the three largest casinos in the state, will be kept to about half the normal capacity. As sovereign nations, the Indian tribes that operate Minnesota casinos get to set their own timelines and rules for reopening, unlike restaurants and bars that must follow the state's orders...

  • Drive-through medicine reduces COVID-19 fears

    May 26, 2020

    Katie Schugel isn't so worried about COVID-19 that she's afraid to walk into her obstetrician's office. Even so, Schugel appreciated the chance to avoid a medical office building - where patients from a variety of clinics walk the halls and push elevator buttons - in favor of a simple prenatal visit while sitting in her car. https://www.startribune.com/drive-through-medicine-reduces-covid-19-fears-for-minnesota-patients/570628972/...

  • U.N. virus therapy trial pauses hydroxychloroquine testing

    May 26, 2020

    GENEVA - The World Health Organization said Monday that it will temporarily drop hydroxychloroquine - the anti-malarial drug U.S. President Trump says he is taking - from its global study into experimental COVID-19 treatments, saying that its experts need to review all available evidence to date. In a press briefing, WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that in light of a paper published last week in the Lancet that showed people taking hydroxychloroquine were at higher risk of...

  • Minnesota high school athlete eligibility rules get fresh scrutiny

    May 26, 2020

    Spurred by a state legislator's demands, the Minnesota State High School League is exploring revisions of two contentious league bylaws that help determine student-athlete eligibility. Sen. Julie Rosen, R-Vernon Center, got involved after a daughter of a family she knew ran afoul of two bylaws unintentionally and faced a premature end to her high school activities. While the student-athlete, Ceci Driano, ultimately won both appeals, her family and Rosen were incensed by what they contend is an...

The clerk believed the four had been recently diagnosed with COVID-19. https://www.indianz...

    May 26, 2020

    The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe in north-central South Dakota has received extensive state and national press coverage in recent days after Gov. Kristi Noem threatened legal action if the tribe did not dismantle highway checkpoints it is using to manage traffic flow amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
