Canadian wildfires are causing hazy skies and unhealthy air quality across Minnesota, prompting air quality alerts. Emergency physician Dr. Stephen Dunlop advises limiting outdoor time, especially strenuous activities, and suggests wearing an N95 mask if going outside. The elderly and young children are particularly vulnerable. Many residents are choosing to stay indoors or limit their time outdoors due to the poor air quality.
