#BREAKING: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz extends the state’s stay-home order through May 4.

He makes no new exemptions for industries looking to go back to work.
Walz says he's asking Minnesotans to "buy us time" to slow the virus spread.
It appears lawn care and landscaping workers WILL be exempted from Walz's extended stay-home order, contrary to what we were initially told.
Walz: "We cannot rest easy. This thing can explode overnight if we don’t take the proper precautions."
Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm says state officials are planning a Friday briefing to explain updates to Minnesota's much-scrutinized modeling of coronavirus cases.
Walz: I am not interested, nor do I have the time, to understand why we don’t have more testing.

"We simply do not," Walz says.
Walz says Minnesota will need a minimum of 3,000 ICU beds starting in May into July.
