BISMARCK, N.D. – The North Dakota State Hospital (NDSH) in Jamestown recently completed a two-day COVID-19 testing event of patients and staff. Nearly 500 tests were administered by the hospital’s 20-person testing team of nurses, infection control specialists, administrators and other key team members.

State Hospital Superintendent, D.r Rosalie Etherington says, “I’m so proud of our team members at the North Dakota State Hospital. This event was truly a team effort, and it is evident that everyone on our campus is taking very seriously the additional health-related measures and infection control procedures we implemented in late March.”

Etherington said the event went smoothly because of the team’s thoughtful planning and strategic use of four testing stations that operated simultaneously, which resulted in a five to 10-minute testing process for each individual.

As part of the hospital’s revised operating procedures, all new admissions are also screened and tested for COVID-19.

Etherington adds, We are well positioned to continue to keep our campus safe and healthy for our staff, the people we serve and for our community. We plan to hold additional testing events in the future in collaboration with community partners.”

The hospital is following recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the North Dakota Department of Health and taking various precautions, including limiting group therapy size, modifying treatment settings, practicing social distancing, monitoring hand-washing, screening all team members on a daily basis and other measures. A visitor restriction policy also remains in effect.

Etherington says, “We also have a team member with a passion for quilting who is leading an effort with a handful of patients to make non-medical cloth masks for people who are discharged from the hospital to community living. Yards of fabric and other necessary materials have been donated for this project, and it is wonderful to be able to give back to the community and the people we serve.”

Bismarck (CSi) Governor Doug Burgum resumed his COVID-19 News Briefing Tuesday afternoon at the state Capital in Bismarck.

He started with gratitude to North Dakotans for helping each other and offering support, during the uncertain times during the pandemic.

He said he and North Dakota First Lady Katherine Burgum visited by conference call with First Lady Melania Trump in Washington, DC, on Monday, along with other officials.

He said it’s an honor representing North Dakotans on the national stage.

Burgum pointed out the importance of COVID-19 testing, and the positive cases followed up including contact tracing, and isolation when necessary, to slow the spread of the virus.

North Dakota health officials are reporting one death and 63 new cases of COVID-19. Cass County, which remains the epicenter of the state’s coronavirus outbreak, had 56 cases on Tuesday, bringing the county’s total to 1,229. Statewide, there were 1,994 confirmed cases as of Tuesday.

Burgum added the Red river Valley COVID-19 Task Force is enhancing testing of existing clients, and others with enhanced risks is continuing along with focus tests, of long term care facilities, and other congregate care facilities.

Basic Care Relief has been implemented, Burgum announced an emergency rule change that will allow residents of basic care facilities in North Dakota to keep the Economic Impact Payments provided as part of the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

A basic care facility is similar to a nursing home, but for seniors whose medical needs are not as intense. North Dakota is the only state with basic care, with 1,143 seniors currently residing in 65 basic care facilities that are supported by the state paying part of their room and board.

Because of how the state’s rules are written for basic care, Economic Impact Payments made to basic care residents were directed to be counted as income and kept by the state – which is not what was intended under the CARES Act.

To meet the federal mandate, the Governor’s Office and Department of Human Services (DHS), led by Executive Director Chris Jones, worked closely with legislative and executive branch partners to find a solution. The administration sought an emergency rule change that allows North Dakotans in basic care facilities to be able to use the stimulus money however they choose. Jones signed the emergency rule request on Monday and Burgum signed off on it Tuesday. The rule became effective today and will remain in effect as it moves through the formal administrative rules process.

Unprecedented claim volumes are driving a dramatic increase in fraudulent unemployment claims across the country – North Dakota included.

Job Service North Dakota uses multiple types of fraud identification and prevention tools, but the most effective fraud prevention tool available is North Dakota’s employers.

What to look for

When an unemployment insurance claim is filed, a Notice of Claim is sent to each of the employers the claimant worked for in the last 18 months. It is critical that employers review these notices and let Job Service know if the individual is still working or if the claim is unexpected or suspicious. Preventing payment on fraudulent claims benefits all employers by limiting the severe impact this pandemic period will have on the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund balance.

Job Service has identified multiple instances of fraudulent claims being filed in North Dakota using the personal information of individuals who remain employed and who have not actually filed a claim for benefits. In several of these situations, the employer of the individuals whose data was used to file the claim notified Job Service after receiving a Notice of Claim for the individual. By notifying Job Service of the fraud, these employers were able to prevent thousands of dollars in payments to criminals who falsely filed claims.

The criminals committing the fraud gather personal information from multiple sources, from buying social security numbers on the dark web to gathering demographic and employment data from various public web sites and social media. These sophisticated schemes are often hard to detect and ultimately can result in very large losses. Although fraudulent attempts to receive unemployment insurance benefits happen regularly, periods of disaster which result in a large volume of unemployment insurance claims provide an opportunity for criminals and organized crime to ramp up their efforts.

Job Service North Dakota is asking every employer to pay close attention to any Notice of Claim and other materials sent to them by Job Service and to report potential fraud.

To report fraud call 701-328-2866, document your concern on the Notice of Claim you receive and return it to Job Service, or at jobsnd.com, under Unemployment for Business choose “Report Unemployment Fraud.”

The Behavioral Health Division is responsible for reviewing and identifying service needs and activities in the state’s behavioral health system to ensure health and safety, access to services and quality services. It also establishes quality assurance standards for the licensure of substance use disorder program services and facilities and provides policy leadership in partnership with public and private entities.

A 31-page toolkit provides employers with information on supporting employees while teleworking, utilizing an employee assistance program and finding behavioral health services and supports in North Dakota. The toolkit also has tips for supervisors on how they can provide one-on-one support to their staff members and ready-to-use information for employee newsletters or other employer communications on behavioral health resources, including tools for parents, available online at www.behavioralhealth.nd.gov/sites/www/files/documents/EmployeeToolkit.pdf.

In other state news, on Tuesday, North Dakota State School Superintendent Kirsten Baesler is asking for public suggestions about the best uses for federal education aid that was recently approved by Congress.

The Department of Public Instruction has $3.1 million in discretionary federal aid, and considerable flexibility on how it is used for state and local education needs, Baesler said. The NDDPI funds are on top of $30.06 million in federal grants that are being distributed to school districts. The money was included in a $2 trillion emergency relief package that was approved by Congress in late March.

Baesler has distributed a survey to educators, family members, education groups, advocacy organizations and state lawmakers that asks for their views on improving distance learning, how federal aid spending should be prioritized, and how best to support student learning needs during this pandemic.

The multiple-choice survey is on line at : https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NDDPICOVIDsurvey. It has four questions and invites participants to add comments as they wish. One question asks: “What supports would be most helpful to provide effective distance learning for students in the event that we need to address this option again in the future?”

North Dakota’s K-12 students have been attending class via distance education since mid-March, when Gov. Doug Burgum closed schools to student in-person instruction. Many districts plan to continue distance education instruction for summer school.

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is scrambling to defend President Donald Trump’s decision to take a malaria drug he’s been touting as a treatment for the coronavirus. He’s making himself an example for use of the drug, and that’s drawing criticism from some health experts as well as Democratic leaders. Trump says he’s been taking hydroxychloroquine and a zinc supplement daily for a week and a half. However, the government says the drug should only be administered for COVID-19 in a hospital or research setting due to potentially fatal side effects. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tells CNN she would rather Trump not be taking something that hasn’t been approved by scientists, citing his age and calling the president “morbidly obese.”

The Dutch prime minister says the country’s bars and restaurants can reopen on June 1, with limited numbers of guests and social distancing. Prime Minister Mark Rutte says the country can begin the next phase of emerging from what he has called an intelligent lockdown, while stressing people should continue practicing social distancing and work from home whenever possible. The number of new deaths and coronavirus infections has been falling for weeks in the Netherlands, where the official death toll stands at 5,715,

MOSCOW (AP) — As the coronavirus outbreak eases in Western Europe and parts of the U.S., cases are rising steadily in Russia in a crisis that has damaged President Vladimir Putin’s standing and stirred suspicion that the true death toll in the country is being concealed. Russia is now behind only the United States in the number of reported infections, and cases are also spiking in such places as India, South Africa and Mexico. Russian authorities put the death toll at just over 2,800 — a figure some say is surely higher. Some experts argue Russian authorities have been listing chronic illnesses as the cause of death for many who tested positive for the virus. Officials angrily deny manipulating statistics, saying Russia’s low death toll reflects early preventive measures and broad screening.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York state’s June 23 Democratic presidential primary will definitely take place now. The state’s Democratic Party leadership gave up its attempt to cancel the presidential primary Tuesday. It did so after the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed that the primary must include the contest over the state’s objections. Supporters of Bernie Sanders and Andrew Yang had challenged the cancellation of the primary after the candidates suspended their campaigns. Elections were already scheduled for June 23 for numerous other races, including for state and Congressional offices. The Democratic presidential primary had been canceled on the grounds that the coronavirus posed too big a safety threat.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two Republicans have been sworn into the House after winning special elections last week. New Rep. Mike Garcia is an ex-Navy fighter pilot who captured a California congressional district from Democrats. Rep. Tom Tiffany was easily elected in a conservative-leaning district in rural northern Wisconsin. They were backed by President Donald Trump. Garcia won a Los Angeles-area seat that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had won in 2016 and that Democrat Katie Hill won in 2018. Hill resigned last year. Republicans say Garcia’s victory shows they can win other suburban districts this fall. Democrats say having Trump’s name on the ballot means they will retain those districts, where many moderate voters live.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is heading to Capitol Hill to meet Tuesday with Senate Republicans over lunch as Washington considers next steps in the coronavirus response. That’s according to a person unauthorized to discuss the president’s schedule and granted anonymity. The administration is making a full court press on Capitol Hill. Vice President Mike Pence and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin huddled with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy early Tuesday morning. As governors plea for more aid, Republicans say they want to wait to see how more than $2 trillion in earlier help is being spent.
