Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) requested on Thursday that "protesters" in the City of Lakes practice social distancing and wear masks to reduce coronavirus transmission. The municipal government claimed to provide hundreds of masks to the public for this purpose.

"The City has made hundreds of masks available to protesters this week." Read More |
