COVID-19 Resource Page for Cook County, MN Businesses

As we prepare for the Stay At Home order to be lifted, the team at Visit Cook County is working on a number of projects and documents to help  you and your business to reopen for the season.

On this page you’ll find a number or resources being added frequently from our Best Practices Guide to social distancing posters and more.

 

1) Best Practices Guide

The “Best Practices” Guide is an ongoing document intended to be a guideline for preparing your business and employees for reopening this summer. If you have a Best Practice topic you would like to see implemented into this guide, please let us know by sending an email to kjersti@visitcookcounty.com to start the conversation.
