Where in MN Are You Most Likely to Get the Coronavirus?
As Minnesota joins other states in slowly reopening, let's take a look at what activities pose the greatest risk of contracting the coronavirus.
The team at mLive asked four public health experts to rate these activities on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being the least risk, and 10 being the highest.

Wash your hands, wear your mask, practice social distancing, and cross your fingers. Here we go:
Coronavirus Risk Level by Activity
While outdoor activities are usually safer than indoor ones, the experts looked at these five things:
- Is the activity inside or outside?
- How close will people likely be to each other?
- How long will people be around each other?
- How likely are people to follow safety guidelines?
- What's the personal risk level?
Just a reminder that as the state reopens, Minnesota health officials remind us to practice the following guidelines to slow the spread of the coronavirus:
- All Minnesotans who can work from home must do so.
- Wash your hands often.
- Get tested when sick.
- Maintain social distance.
- Wear a mask.
- Stay home when able.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay home when you can.
