(FOX 9) - Major Minnesota employers and education institutions are imposing mask mandates and vaccine requirements for workers to slow a COVID-19 surge across the country.

The COVID-19 delta variant surge brings a flood of changes to Minnesota, including a return of some mask requirements.

"We are grateful that people are taking another look and taking action to get vaccinated," Minnesota Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm said.

Malcolm said Minnesota officials are not considering a new statewide mask mandate to slow the spread of the highly contagious delta variant.

Instead, Minnesota health officials are pleading with unvaccinated people to get a shot.

Minnesota health officials said they know of 4,477 breakthrough cases, where a vaccinated person tests positive with the virus -- 0.14 percent of vaccinated people.
