[ST. PAUL, MN] – Last week, Governor Tim Walz launched a Stay Home MN public service announcement (PSA) campaign. In the PSAs, Governor Walz encourages Minnesotans to help slow the spread of infection by staying home and directs them to the Minnesota Department of Health website for more information. With those PSAs already running on television, the Governor’s Office is working with the Minnesota Newspaper Association to begin running print versions of the PSAs in newspapers across the state.

“COVID-19 presents an unprecedented challenge to our state,” said Governor Walz. “The State of Minnesota and our private partners are doing everything we can to protect Minnesotans, but we need your help. Minnesotans, stay home and let’s make sure we keep our family, our friends, and our neighbors safe.”

Governor Walz is grateful for the Minnesota press’ dedication to delivering the most accurate information possible to Minnesotans during such trying times. He encourages Minnesotans to fight COVID-19 using Facts Not Fear by turning to their local news and newspapers for up to date information.

Outlets can find the print ads attached in both color and black and white and are free to use them.
