We’ve now surpassed 1,000 Hennepin County deaths—and 3,000 MN deaths—due to COVID-19. Tonight, landmarks across the state shine for those we've lost. 💜

For some perspective, Victory Memorial Pkwy was dedicated in 1921 to honor 568 Hennepin County lives lost in WWI. #MNtogether pic.twitter.com/XuSymy1lJN
