Governor encourages people to "stay the course"

State of South Dakota

Governor Kristi Noem reminds people who are anxious to get back to normal again that they must “stay the course” for several more weeks yet. In her daily briefing Wednesday, Noem said that the state is working on a phased approach.

Noem appointed a Medical Review Committee this week to look into guidelines established by President Trump. She said the state will rely on this committee’s analysis going forward.

Meanwhile, Noem asked residents to be patient and keep following the recommended guidelines.

The governor also reminded South Dakota residents to download the CARE-19 app to help track where they have been in the event that they test positive for COVID-19.
