Yesterday we got the good news that Minnesota would follow the latest CDC guidelines on masks and remove the statewide mandate. According to the CDC, the mandate remains in effect for "crowded indoor settings, including buses, planes, hospitals, prisons, and homeless shelters" and Governor Walz did say individual businesses still have the option to require customers to wear masks.

The city of Rochester echoed the Governor's message leaving the decision up to  business owners. Several popular chains that have stores in the Med-City have already announced their plans. Below you'll see a list of places in Rochester where you will and won't have to wear a mask.
