We’ve entered a phase of COVID-19 confusion. 

In Minnesota, 67.2 percent of residents 16 and older have at least one vaccine shot. Most of the restrictions designed to curb the spread of the virus have been lifted. 

That leaves many of us trying to figure out what precautions and social habits to keep and which ones to drop entirely as we move forward. 

How do you back out of an awkward office hug? Should we still wear masks around children? How can we graciously turn down an invite because we’re overwhelmed and tired as our social lives ramp up?
