Gov. Tim Walz for one of the first times Thursday suggested benchmarks for ending Minnesota's peacetime emergency and the business and social restrictions to slow the COVID-19 pandemic. Six months after issuing the emergency order, Walz said he is looking for declines in both the positivity rate of COVID-19 diagnostic testing and the rate of infections that can't be traced to community sources. "If we could get community spread under 20%, and we could get the test positivity rate under 4,...
Dueling presidential visits to northern Minnesota on Friday are setting up a high-stakes battle for support in a region that's shifted toward Republicans in recent elections and redefined Minnesota politics.

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump intensified efforts to appeal to his core base of white voters on Thursday by downplaying the historical legacy of slavery in the United States and blasting efforts to address systemic racism as divisive. The president's comments marking the 233rd anniversary of the signing of the Constitution amounted to a defense of white culture and a denunciation of Democrats, the media and others who he accused of trying to indoctrinate school children and shame their par...

The diagnostic testing, which involves a nasal swab, paves the way for a state plan for coronavirus antibody saliva testing that is...

Minnesota exhausted its share of funds from a temporary federal program providing a $300 weekly bonus to unemployment payments, officials said Thursday. That will affect most of the 320,000 Minnesotans who continue to collect jobless benefits six months into the pandemic. At the same time, new data released Thursday show Minnesota's job recovery sped up a bit last month with the addition of 40,500 jobs. That was better than July but not as good as June. https://www.startribun...
The biotech company Moderna released a 135-page document Thursday that spells out the details of how it is conducting the late-stage trial of its coronavirus vaccine, and how safety and efficacy will be determined. The document suggests that the first analysis of the trial data may not be conducted until late December, and that there may not be enough information then to determine whether the vaccine works. Subsequent analyses, scheduled for March and May, are more likely to provide an answer....

University President Geoffrey Mearns wrote that the cases apparently were tied not to classrooms or dormitories but to "poor personal...
