Live at 11:30 a.m.: Walz to outline expanded vaccine plan

Minnesota has kept vaccine eligibility to people with certain underlying health conditions, as well as those with jobs or living arrangements that put them at highest risk of getting COVID-19. But that changes Tuesday, when the state will expand COVID-19 vaccination to all state residents 16 and older. So far, almost 1.5 million Minnesotans have received at least one dose of vaccine, according to the Minnesota Department of Health.

Gov. Tim Walz will share details of the change in an 11:30 a.m. address, and will answer reporter questions at 12:30 p.m. Listen live on MPR News or on our Facebook page.

• 6,814 deaths (16 new)
• 510,398 positive cases; 97 percent off isolation
• 26.5 percent of Minnesotans with at least one vaccine dose
• 79.4 percent of Minnesotans 65 and older with at least one vaccine dose

President Joe Biden opened his first formal news conference Thursday with a nod toward the improving picture on battling the coronavirus, doubling his original goal by pledging that the nation will administer 200 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines by the end of his first 100 days in office.

Minnesota safety patrol takes to the streets to stop Asian hate

In response to the growing animosity against Asian Americans, 37-year-old Jonathan Sry started the MN Asian Safety Squad, a community safety patrol group, in February. Then a man killed eight people, six of them Asian women, in a shooting spree around Atlanta, Georgia, on March 16. The group mobilized soon after.

“It’s been a year of just anti-Asian attacks, and no one’s started anything yet for this type of service in Minnesota,” Sry said. “So it falls on somebody. The first person to do it is the person who’s now responsible for it.”

Minnesota's home insurance premiums have more than tripled in 15 years, largely driven by extreme weather.

Since 2000, Minnesota has experienced 23 extreme weather events that caused a billion dollars or more in damage. And those billions are costing cities and homeowners through higher insurance rates. “And to be honest, the insurance premiums you’re paying now probably aren’t actually enough," says Mark Kulda, with the Insurance Federation of Minnesota. “It means that you’re going to look at these increases into the future.”
