Update…
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Police say a body that was found in a car submerged in the Missouri River in Bismarck is that of a missing man. Police searched near the Fox Island Boat Ramp with the assistance of the North Dakota Highway Patrol, Bismarck Rural Fire, North Dakota Game and Fish and the Burleigh County Dive Team Thursday. The dive team located an object in the river that was determined to be a vehicle. After the car was removed from the river, police discovered Agard’s body inside. The Burleigh County Coroner has ordered an autopsy, and the case remains under investigation.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Mandan man is facing reckless endangerment charges after he was accused of rolling large boulders off a cliff at a state historical site north of Bismarck. Authorities say no one was hurt when one of the boulders estimated at 700 pounds landed on a walking path at Double Ditch Indian Village Wednesday evening. Thirty-five-year-old Charles Gipp is also accused of starting a small fire at the site. He’s charged with felony reckless endangerment and two misdemeanors, according to the Bismarck Tribune. Burleigh County sheriff’s officials say Gipp told investigators he rolled the boulders for spiritual reasons. Court documents do not list an attorney for Gipp.
In world and national news…
LONDON (AP) — The emergencies chief of the World Health Organization confirmed the U.N. agency has received genetic sequences from China regarding Beijing’s latest outbreak and said it appears the virus came from Europe. At a press briefing on Friday, Dr. Michael Ryan noted that “strains and viruses have moved around the world” throughout the pandemic. Ryan noted that analysis of the genetic sequences so far suggests that the virus had been spread person-to-person and not from animals to humans. Meanwhile, WHO’s director-general says the pandemic is “accelerating.” He said more than 150,000 cases were reported to the U.N. health agency on Thursday, the biggest single-day total so far.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington D.C. officials have announced that the nation’s capital will begin phase two of its reopening on Monday, saying the anticipated spike in COVID-19 infections appears to have been successfully blunted by months of social restrictions. Playgrounds, libraries, gyms and nail salons will be able to reopen on a limited basis. All nonessential businesses will be allowed to let customers inside up to 50% capacity. Restaurants will be able to seat diners indoors, also at 50% capacity. Public pools will be reopened on a limited basis, although Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said earlier this week that it may take a few weeks to properly prepare the facilities.
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Gov. Andrew Cuomo wrapped up a string of more than 100 daily briefings by declaring New York has “done the impossible” in taming the coronavirus. Cuomo appeared alone behind his desk during a brief address Friday, a departure from his routine of presenting slides and taking questions from reporters. But his message was the same as in recent days. He said New Yorkers worked together to beat back the virus and now must be on guard for a second wave. On Friday, Cuomo said the number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 was 1,284, compared with more than 18,000 at the peak of the outbreak.
CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) — Apple is closing 11 stores in Arizona, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina that it had opened just few weeks after reopening them. The decision announced Friday arrives amid rising infections in some states, particularly those that began loosening the restrictions requiring most people to stay home and most stores to shut down this spring. There were 286.7 new cases per 100,000 people in Arizona over the past two weeks, which ranks first in the country for new cases per capita. The rolling average number of daily new cases has increased by 143.1%. Daily new cases in Florida have increased by 144.4%., according to researchers tracking the virus at John Hopkins University.
(AP) A high-ranking Transportation Security Administration official says the agency is falling short when it comes to protecting airport screeners and the public from the new coronavirus. The official says TSA agents have both become a significant spreader of the virus and weren’t protected themselves. A federal office that handles whistleblower complaints has ordered an investigation. TSA says it follows guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and that screeners now wear masks and nitrile gloves. But the whistleblower says there are still gaps, including no procedure for handling travelers who appear to be sick.
GUADALUPE, Ariz. (AP) — As the coronavirus spreads deeper across America, it is ravaging through Latino communities from the mid-Atlantic to the Southwest, infecting them at alarmingly high rates and amplifying the inequalities they live with. Latinos are especially vulnerable to infection because they tend to live in tight quarters with multiple family members and have jobs that expose them to others. They also have a greater incidence of health conditions like diabetes that put them at higher risk for contracting COVID-19. Now, a growing body of evidence is forming around the virus’ toll on Latinos as researchers develop a more advanced data analysis about COVID-19 and race.
