The disease metrics are at levels not seen since over the winter, but the vaccination trend has hit a new high. The question still to be decided: Can the vaccination push outrun the growth of new COVID-19 strains spreading now through the state?

.@GovTimWalz says Minnesota is moving 10,000 #COVID19 vaccine appointments to US Bank Stadium this week.

Those people had been scheduled to get a shot at the Vikings' facility in Eagan before it was damaged by a storm.

"Everyone's appointment will be honored," Walz says.

[Theo Keith @TheoKeith]

@GovTimWalz Walz says he's not imposing new economic restrictions as cases and hospitalizations climb -- but gives a caveat:

"I don’t think at this time that’s where we’re looking. But I will say this, if we spike out, if our hospitals become overrun, we can’t allow that to happen."

Commissioner Malcolm says the pandemic isn't over. Important to continue vaccinating as many as possible every day. Most Minnesotans are still not vaccinated. Millions are still susceptible to the virus. Keep masking and social distancing. #Minnesota #coronavirus #COVID19

[Catharine Richert @CatRichert]

MN Health says a new federal vaccine site opening 4/14 aims to give shots to 100,000 people in socially vulnerable communities in the Twin Cities. That's *in addition* to vaccines that are already scheduled to come in.

Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul will become a federal vax site - another avenue to reach the most vulnerable Minnesotans. Sign up at the vaccine connector website for an appointment or call @mnhealth public hotline: [phone].

[HealthInMinnesota @HealthInMinn]

Malcolm says more than 1,840,000 people have received at least one vaccine. It takes a full two weeks after last shot to reach full immune protection. @mnhealth
