Unpacking legal questions surrounding new Minneapolis mask order
Beginning Tuesday at 5 p.m., anyone over the age of 2 is required to wear a face mask or similar coverings when entering businesses and other venues in Minneapolis. Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey announced the new rules last week.

MPR News host Cathy Wurzer discussed legal questions surrounding the mayor’s ruling with David Schultz, a visiting professor at the University of Minnesota's law school and a longtime political science professor at Hamline University.
