  • On March 25, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ordered residents in nonessential jobs to stay home for two weeks in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19.

    • Workers in skilled trades such as electricians, plumbers, HVAC and elevator technicians, and other related construction of all kinds. This category also includes exterminators, cleaning and janitorial staff for commercial and governmental properties, moving and relocation services, security staff, operating engineers, and all other service providers who provide services that are necessary to maintain the safety, sanitation, and essential operation of homes and residences.
    • Real estate transactions limited to workers who facilitate and finance real estate transactions and real estate services, including appraisers and title services.
    • Essential supply stores limited to workers at businesses that sell products, tools, materials, or supplies necessary for: (1) the above critical sectors to continue their essential operations, (2) for workers to work from home or (3) for the maintenance of the safety, sanitation, and essential operation of homes or residences.

    • Important notes:
