As vice chair of the Senate Family Care & Aging Committee, I am extremely concerned that residents of long-term care are being forgotten.

[Karin Housley @KarinHousley]

Today @mnhealth said long-term care residents, on full lockdown for 3+ months, can have window visits. Meanwhile @GovTimWalz prioritizes free testing for protestors & a $6.9 million morgue that sits empty. Where is the concern for our seniors?! 😠 https://t.co/d0Iu4fu31q

[Karin Housley @KarinHousley]

For 3+ months, seniors in long-term care have been on lockdown while COVID ravaged many of their facilities. But where's the concern for them?

@GovTimWalz & his administration are failing Minnesota seniors. And I'm going to say it again & again & again until something changes.

[Karin Housley @KarinHousley]

This morning, I sent @mnhealth more than a dozen outstanding questions they have yet to answer. If I don’t receive a satisfactory response by this weekend, I will pursue a legislative subpoena under MN Statutes 3.153. We need to see a better executed plan! https://t.co/vDS3qR7MGE

Glad to support Shady’s in Albany and small businesses across Minnesota! And yes, we got takeout 😋 @SenatorNewmanMN @JeffHoweMN @LisaDemuthMN

[Minnesota Catholic Conference @MNCatholicConf]

Thank you @SenatorRelph for taking time to discuss end of life care, water infrastructure, broadband access, and #mfip assistance with MN Catholics in district 14. #mnleg

This afternoon, @GovTimWalz will announce this an update to his stay home order. We are expecting him to continue his order, but begin to slowly re-open businesses. I believe the question we should ask is if it is safe or unsafe for business to operate... here’s a few thoughts.

Looks like Majority Leader @_RyanWinkler didn’t like our message today on Insulin. “Character is what you do (when you think) no one is watching." #mnleg #Insulin4All

[Jerry Relph (Archived) @SenatorRelph]

In these truly extraordinary times, we have no choice but to adapt...so like 200 million others, I’ve been using @zoom_us for meetings, hearings, and even a virtual family happy hour. Zoom, zoom, zoom!

My bill for $21 million in funding to battle #COVIDー19 in Minnesota was signed into law today. It passed the legislature yesterday unanimously. More: https://t.co/GXuyvtO8nM

[Jerry Relph (Archived) @SenatorRelph]

Today, the Senate unanimously passed my bill for $21 million in emergency funding to combat #COVIDー19 in Minnesota. If the funds are unused or reimbursed by the feds, the money automatically transfers back to the general fund. We are prepared! https://t.co/Iq2xtMKQNh

[Jerry Relph (Archived) @SenatorRelph]

We are leading on this issue in the Minnesota Senate. We will pass emergency funding this morning to help public health officials battle a #COVIDー19 outbreak in Minnesota

[Mary Lahammer @mlahammer]

Gov Walz agrees #COVID2019 is the new #1 priority of the legislative session and is very pleased Minnesota’s uniquely divided government is moving quickly in a bipartisan manner to pass emergency legislation #mnleg @tpt @NewsHour

[Jerry Relph (Archived) @SenatorRelph]

On Monday morning, the Senate will pass my bill that gives @mnhealth $21 million to combat #COVIDー19.

The bill has already gone through the committee process in anticipation of the virus reaching Minnesota, so we are ready to act.

#Breaking The case is an older Ramsey County resident who recently traveled on a cruise ship with a known COVID-19 case, according to officials. https://t.co/00RaFOPvOk

[Minnesota Senate Republicans @mnsrc]

Senate Leader @paulgazelka: "I've notified both the House and Governor that the Senate will convene on Monday morning to pass $20.9 million for the Public Health Response Contingency account. We are working to move this bill quickly to provide care for those who will need it."

Terrific hearing with @SenatorRelph in Senate Human Services Reform today. Maya Tester was powerful testifier! Thank you for supporting universal screening for prenatal exposure to alcohol. Let’s get this done! #FASD #wehaveproof

As the country and state considers the potential impact of coronavirus domestically, District 14 @SenatorRelph is planning ahead. https://t.co/07M1eqibMg

[Jerry Relph (Archived) @SenatorRelph]

I am intro'ing a bill to provide $5 million to the Public Health Response Emergency Account to make sure we are ready for a #COVID19 outbreak in MN. If not needed, it will transfer back to general fund. We must prepare for the worst! https://t.co/gnQnswM7NK
