As Minnesotans continue to stay home in droves, as warnings to shelter in place from health officials continue to affect our lives, those still working in offices in downtown Minneapolis are seeing empty streets, sidewalks and skyways.

All of this on a morning where the governor is self-quarantining after having contact with a member of his security detail who tested positive for coronavirus, the Lt. Governor lost a brother in Tennessee who had the virus, and Senator Amy Klobuchar announced her husband had contracted it.  

RELATED: See continuing coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic here. 

We went out with our camera to show you some of the deserted places in Minneapolis on what would typically be a very busy Monday morning in the core of downtown.  Instead, downtown looks more like it would on Christmas Day.
