Minnesota hospitals are seeing a surge in visits. It's mostly flu patients, according to the state, but COVID-19, RSV and norovirus are also spiking. Hospitals says it's putting a strain on ICUs and increasing wait times in emergency departments.

And a state senator facing burglary charges is requesting to postpone a jury trial until May — after the Minnesota legislative session comes to a close.

Those stories and more in today’s evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.
