Minnesota's COVID-19 response shows promise in helping to slow virus

The death toll from COVID-19 jumped from four to more than 20 in the first week of Gov. Tim Walz's stay-at-home order, but amid the loss and great public anxiety, there are signs of hope.

Declines in traffic and even crime mean that Minnesotans are taking social distancing obligations seriously, which bodes well because aggressive responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have been credited with at least leveling death tolls in hard-hit cities such as Seattle and San Francisco. And at least one national COVID-19 forecaster has reduced its death estimates for Minnesota based on the state's efforts.
