Before the stay at home order takes effect, families in Coon Rapids, Minnesota got to take a break from isolation with a drive-in movie.

"Helps get out of the house, you know the kids are kinda getting cooped up in there and it's nice even if we're still in the car, it's nice to be out and have some fresh air," said one attendee.
