No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups.

The Covid-19 Event Risk Assessment Planning Tool, conceived in 2020 by Joshua Weitz, Patton Distinguished Professor and Co-Director of the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Quantitative Biosciences, is cited in this article to show how vaccinations are impacting Minnesota counties. The planning tool shows the risk of virus transmission based on an event's size and location. The risk in Hennepin County, MN, of catching the virus at an event with 15 people went from 50 percent in November 2020 to six percent in mid-May. Just under 50 percent of all Minnesotans have been vaccinated.
