Bismarck (CSi) Governor Doug Burgum held his Weekly News Briefing on Friday at the State Capital in Bismarck. He was joined by North Dakota First Lady Kathryn Burgum, State School Superintendent Kirsten Baesler, and Human Services Director, Chris Jones.
He said new cases and positivity rates are still “going the wrong way,” Climbing.
He pointed out that North Dakota is surrounded by states with record high positivity rates.
He said, mitigation efforts works, adding that social distancing is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Mask wearing, hygiene and avoid crowds, is an approach the state has been advocating the past seven months.
He announced the Thanksgiving Challenge, with mitigation efforts, and starting improved mitigation efforts now, lowering the transmissible moments of spreading the virus.
He said personal responsibility observing the NDSmart guidelines, will help slowing the spread in North Dakota. Community leadership among citizens is a great support, and finding a reason to be a part of the solution in mitigating the COVID-19 pandemic.
Burgum said he meets regularly with North Dakota mayor and county commissioners, sharing ideas, and what local political subdivisions have implemented to slow the spread of the Virus.
He added that Valley City Mayor, Dave Carlsrud has announced a face mask plan, encouraging but not issue a mandate to wear face masks, including in all outdoors settings where they cannot maintain 6 feet of distance from people outside of their household.
He said North Dakota leads the nation in COVID-19 testing. He said a number of larger North Dakota cities are receiving saliva test kits, with a quick result. Long term care facilities will soon be receiving other types of quick result tests from the federal government.
Burgum pointed out the Friday COVID-19 statistics from the NDDoH.
Burgum on Friday said at this time he is not adjusting the County Risk Levels, saying at next Thursday’s News Briefing more adjustments will be announced, to given businesses the opportunity to adapt to the recent risk level changes.
With contact tracing, backlogs of cases, have lessened, in cooperation with the North Dakota National Guard, plus the implementation of automated test results for those who have tested. He hopes that those testing positive will notify close contacts, themselves, including coworkers and others.
A new K-12 COVID school dashboard has been implemented to increase transparency of the impact of the virus on students.
A new K-12 COVID school dashboard has been implemented to increase transparency of the impact of the virus on students. Health.nd.gov with more specific information.
Burgum said the North Dakota Emergency Commission Friday unanimously approved the reallocation of turned-back federal funding to support the state’s COVID-19 response and recovery efforts, directing nearly $221 million to K-12 school districts, cities and counties, businesses including the hospitality industry, hospitals, and other programs.
North Dakota received $1.25 billion from the Coronavirus Relief Fund as part of the $2.2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The $221 million approved today is what was turned back from the previously allocated federal funding.
The $221 million in turnback included $90 million from the Bank of North Dakota, $50 million from unemployment insurance, $33 million from the Department of Health and $17 million from the Department of Emergency Services.
Under the reallocation approved Friday, K-12 school districts will receive nearly $34 million, on top of the $30 million previously allocated. The $64 million will be paid out directly to school districts utilizing a base payment amount and a per pupil distribution.
Cities and counties will also receive over $61 million, in addition to the $59 million previously distributed as a reimbursement for law enforcement payroll and the $20 million for local public health units.
The North Dakota Department of Health will provide $10 million to the six large referral hospitals in Fargo, Bismarck, Grand Forks and Minot. These hospitals have played a critical role in expanding hospital capacity and providing direct COVID-related care as well as maintaining needed medical care throughout the pandemic.
“This federal funding is being reallocated in a way that positively impacts North Dakota citizens, schools, hospitals, businesses and all levels of state and local government,” Burgum said. “We’re grateful to the legislators, agency leaders and citizens whose input and collaboration have ensured that these funds can be used to minimize the negative impact of COVID-19 and facilitate economic recovery, saving both lives and livelihoods.”
The six-member Emergency Commission consists of four legislative leaders – House Majority Leader Chet Pollert of Carrington, Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner of Dickinson, House Appropriations Chairman Jeff Delzer of Underwood and Senate Appropriations Chairman Ray Holmberg of Grand Forks – along with Secretary of State Al Jaeger and Burgum as chairman. The proposals must be approved by the Legislature’s Budget Section on Oct. 28.
An additional $49 million will be provided to support business recovery across the state through the Department of Commerce and the Bank of North Dakota. This reallocation of funding includes $29 million to Commerce, in addition to the repurposing of approximately up to $25 million for a total of $54 million to be distributed to businesses within the hospitality and entertainment industries who have been most directly impacted by COVID-19 pandemic guidelines. Businesses receiving these grants will be required to certify that they will adhere to the ND Smart Restart guidelines. The reallocation of funding includes an additional $20 million to the Bank of North Dakota for the COVID Pace Recovery II program.
Other allocations include:
- $14.8 million for the Department of Human Services, including $8 million to provide child care emergency operations grants, over $3 million for long-term care and skilled nursing facility environmental upgrades, $1.7 million for community-based behavioral health services, and other program funding.
- $16 million for the North Dakota Industrial Commission for a drilled-but-uncompleted (DUC) well incentive program. These funds were repurposed from an orphan well plugging and reclamation program and are also designed to maintain oil and gas service sector jobs and activity as the industry, which contributes over half of the state’s tax revenue, continues to recover.
- $13.5 million for the North Dakota Highway Patrol to cover payroll expenses.
- $9.7 million for Job Service North Dakota to cover reimbursable employers’ costs related to unemployment insurance, including $5.4 million for hospitals and long-term care, $1.2 million for higher education and the remainder for cities and counties, non-profits and others.
- $5.2 million for the North Dakota University System for environmental and education modifications in response to COVID-19.
- $8.1 million for other state agencies and political subdivisions, including $2.2 million through the Department of Agriculture to support meat processing plants to address demand for retail meat products.

Valley City CSi) People are encouraged and not required to wear a face mask in Valley City during the pandemic or until further notice.
On Oct. 21, 2020, Valley City Mayor Dave Carlsrud signed Emergency Order 2020-05 implementing a Mask Plan for the City of Valley City in accordance with the ND Smart Restart guidelines.
The news release from the City of Valley City:
“On Oct. 21, 2020, Valley City Mayor Dave Carlsrud signed Emergency Order 2020-05 implementing a Mask Plan for the City of Valley City in accordance with the ND Smart Restart guidelines.
The City Mask Plan strongly encourages people in Valley City to wear a face covering over their mouth and nose in buildings where they may encounter people outside of their household and they are unable to keep 6 feet of distance from them. They are also required to wear a mask in all outdoors settings where they cannot maintain 6 feet of distance from people outside of their household.
The City Mask Plan also strongly encourages businesses to follow the ND Smart Restart guidelines, which limits customers in their establishments to 50% capacity with a maximum of 100 people.
Customers entering restaurants, bars, breweries, and similar businesses are encouraged to wear a face covering from the time they enter the building to the time they sit. They should continue to wear their mask if they are not in the process of eating or drinking. Individuals using or operating public transportation should wear a face covering from pickup to arrival at the destination.
The City will actively support property owners who wish to require masks in their buildings.
The City Mask Plan places responsibility on each individual to wear masks to ensure they are not spreading coronavirus and protecting their family, friends, colleagues and fellow community members.
The City Mask Plan takes effect at 5:00 pm on Friday October 23, and will remain in effect until Governor Doug Burgum adjusts Barnes County’s risk level, or Mayor Carlsrud or a majority of the Board of Commissioners decides to change or end the Plan.
The Plan also includes a list of exemptions to the requirement which includes young children, individuals with a medical condition or disability that prevents face coverings, and certain employment, athletic and other activities.
Barnes County is currently in the yellow-moderate risk level under the ND Smart Restart guidelines. This level represents heightened exposure risk. The state advises that social distancing and precautions are needed and that increased cleaning on high-touch surfaces and shared spaces should be routine.
Mayor Carlsrud said, “the City desires to be proactive in the fight against COVID-19 to reverse the trend toward significant community spread and high risk of exposure which could eventually lead to a state mandated closure of businesses.”
Face coverings are required for those walking into city hall offices in Valley City.

BISMARCK, N. D. (AP) — A handful of North Dakota cities are involved in the emerging science of testing wastewater for the coronavirus. North Dakota’s Department of Environmental Quality is heading the testing that’s underway in Bismarck, Fargo, West Fargo, Mandan and Williston with plans to expand it to other communities. Testing wastewater is potentially an earlier indicator of active cases in contrast to testing people. It’s funded by $65,000 in federal CARES Act coronavirus aid that includes a $50,000 grant for North Dakota State University which is doing the lab analysis. The North Dakota State Penitentiary in Bismarck began wastewater testing in early October.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Republican Gov. Doug Burgum says election workers in the GOP-run state should be allowed to begin processing absentee ballots five days before the Nov. 3 election. Burgum said in a release Saturday he signed an executive order to give workers enough time to verify voter information and “ensure election integrity and timely results” on voting day. The North Dakota County Auditors Association submitted the request to allow local election boards a head start. Actual counting will not begin until after the polls close on election day. Association Executive Director Donnell Preskey Hushka says that without the extension, the results could be delayed “not by hours but maybe even days.”
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A send-off ceremony for dozens of North Dakota National Guard members looks very different in light of the coronavirus pandemic. Families weren’t invited to the ceremony Sunday in Bismarck where 72 guard members of an assault helicopter company were preparing for a nine-month deployment to Washington D.C. They are mobilizing in support of a mission that stands ready to evacuate the Pentagon’s command if needed. Rows of soldiers wearing masks sat 6 feet apart in the guard hangar for a ceremony that was streamed live on Facebook.

MLB-WORLD SERIES
Dodgers take 3-2 lead
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers are one victory away from their first World Series title in 32 years.
Joc Pederson and Max Muncy hit solo homers as the Dodgers beat the Tampa Bay Rays, 4-2 to take a three-games-to-two lead in the World Series. It was Muncy’s third homer and 12th RBI with two out in this postseason.
It took L.A. just two batters in taking the lead. Mookie Betts led off the top of the first with a double and scored on Corey Seager’s single. Clay Bellinger’s RBI single made it 2-0 later in the inning.
Winning pitcher Clayton Kershaw worked 5 2/3 innings for the Dodgers, allowing two runs and five hits. Kershaw was helped out when Manuel Margot was thrown out attempting to steal home in the fifth inning.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner has two of L.A’s three wins in the series.
Randy Arozarena (ah-roh-zah-RAY’-nah) delivered an RBI single that got Tampa Bay within 3-2 in the third inning. It was his 27th hit of this postseason, breaking the old mark set by Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval in 2014.
Rays starter and loser Tyler Glasnow (GLAS’-now) was reached for four runs over five innings.
The Dodgers can wrap up the series on Tuesday.
NFL..
— The Packers rebounded from their first loss of the season as Aaron Rodgers threw for 283 yards and four touchdowns in a 35-20 win over the Texans. Rodgers was sharp just a week after throwing for two interceptions and no touchdowns in a 38-10 loss at Tampa Bay. Green Bay’s strong day on offense was aided by a career-high 196 yards receiving by Davante Adams, who had touchdown receptions of 3 and 45 yards. The Packers moved to 5-1 and dropped the Texans to 1-6.
— The Chiefs overcame 14-degree temperatures and a snowy field to hammer the Broncos for the 10th straight time, 43-16. Kansas City scored touchdowns on Byron Pringle’s 102-yard kickoff return, Daniel Sorensen’s 50-yard interception return and Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s 11-yard run in which he broke five tackles. Patrick Mahomes (mah-HOHMZ’) finished a methodical 15 of 23 for 200 yards and a touchdown as the 6-1 Chiefs handed the Broncos their fourth loss in six games. Le’Veon Bell ran six times for 39 yards in his Chiefs debut.
UNDATED (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers held on to win a battle of the AFC’s last two undefeated teams.
Ben Roethlisberger (RAWTH’-lis-bur-gur) threw two touchdown passes to Diontae Johnson while the Steelers were building a 27-7 lead in a 27-24 win over the Titans in Tennessee. Benny Snell Jr. added a 1-yard TD run, and Ray-Ray McCloud set up a touchdown with a 57-yard punt return.
But the Titans scored 17 unanswered points in the second half and were in position to force overtime until Stephen Gostkowski missed wide right from 45 yards with 14 seconds left.
The Steelers improved to 6-0 for their best start since 1978, when Pittsburgh won its first seven on the way to the Super Bowl.
Ryan Tannehill threw for 220 yards and two TDs for the 5-1 Titans.

Seattle’s Russell Wilson completed 33 of 50 passes for 388 yards, three touchdowns to Tyler Lockett and three interceptions.
Elsewhere in the NFL:
— Tom Brady threw for four touchdowns and ran for a fifth as the Buccaneers outscored the Raiders, 45-20. Brady’s final scoring strike moved him ahead of Drew Brees (breez) for the most in NFL history, hours after the Saints QB threw for a pair. Brady finished 33 for 45 for 369 yards for the 5-2 Bucs. Derek Carr went 24 for 36 for 284 yards, two TDs and one interception as the 3-3 Raiders were unable to build on a big win at Kansas City before the bye.

Patriots quarterback Cam Newton struggled throughout, completing 9 of 15 passes for 98 yards and three interceptions before being replaced by Jarrett Stidham in the fourth quarter. The 4-3 Niners dropped the Pats to 2-4 and handed New England its worst home loss under Bill Belichick.
— Baker Mayfield passed for five touchdowns, including a 24-yard go-ahead score to Donovan Peoples-Jones with 15 seconds left in the Browns’ 37-34 triumph over the Bengals. Mayfield misfired on his first five attempts before completing 22 of his next 23, the last coming on a leaping grab by People-Jones to win it for the 5-2 Browns. Rookie Joe Burrow hit 35 of 47 passes for a season-high 406 yards and three touchdowns, including a 3-yard scoring pass to Giovani Bernard on fourth-and-1 to give Cincinnati a 34-31 lead with 1:06 left. But the Bengals couldn’t stop Mayfield’s final drive in falling to 1-5-1.
— Playing without his top two receivers, Drew Brees (breez) passed for 287 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints’ 27-24 victory against the Panthers. Brees completed 29 of 36 passes to eight targets despite not having receivers Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders in the lineup. Panthers kicker Joey Slye attempted a potential game-tying, 65-yard field goal try on 4th-and-19, but the ball fell just short of the crossbar. New Orleans improved to 4-2 and dropped Carolina to 3-4.
— Tyler Bass tied a franchise record with six field goals to help the Bills beat the Jets, 18-10 and end a two-game skid.

— Justin Herbert got his first NFL win as the Chargers topped the Jaguars, 39-29 to end a four-game skid. Herbert passed for 347 yards and three touchdowns as well as running for a score. The sixth overall pick in April’s draft completed 27 of 43 passes. He also rushed for 66 yards a single-game high for a Chargers QB.
— Matthew Stafford connected with T.J. Hockenson on an 11-yard touchdown pass as time expired before Matt Prater’s 48-yard extra point gave the Lions an improbable 23-22 victory over the Falcons in Atlanta. The Falcons had a chance to win it with a chip-shot field goal, but Detroit was given a chance to get the ball back when Todd Gurley scored on a 10-yard run with 1:04 to play. Stafford drove his team 75 yards in eight plays, connecting with Hockenson on a 13-yard pass, Danny Amendola for 22 yards and Kenny Golladay for a 29-yard gain to the Falcons 11. The Lions are 3-3 following their second straight win, while Atlanta is 1-6.

VIRUS OUTBREAK-TITANS
AP source: NFL fines Titans $350,000 for COVID-19 outbreak
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The NFL has fined the Tennessee Titans $350,000 for violating protocols leading to the league’s first COVID-19 outbreak during the season. That’s according to a person familiar with the discipline.
The Titans had 24 people, including 13 players, test positive for COVID-19 between Sept. 24 and Oct. 11. The outbreak led the NFL to postpone two Tennessee games and reschedule two others.
The NFL and its players association sent officials, including infectious disease experts, to Nashville where they reviewed video and interviewed players, coaches and other personnel. The person who spoke to The Associated Press says the NFL found the Titans failed to wear masks at all times and were “insufficiently clear” to players about not meeting or working out once the facility closed.

In world and national news…
BEIRUT (AP) — A Syrian opposition spokesman and a war monitor say an airstrike on a training camp in the last rebel enclave in northwestern Syria has killed over 50 fighters. A spokesman for the Turkey-backed Syrian opposition groups says the airstrike Monday is believed to have been carried out by Russia. He said it targeted a training camp in Idlib province run by Failaq al-Sham, one of the largest rebel groups in the Turkey-backed opposition. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says 56 people were killed and nearly 50 more were wounded.
BEIJING (AP) — China’s government says it will impose sanctions on U.S. companies including Boeing and Lockheed Martin for supplying weapons to rival Taiwan. A foreign ministry spokesman said Raytheon also will be affected., The spokesman gave no details of what penalties might be imposed or when. China and Taiwan split during a civil war in 1949 and have no diplomatic relations. Beijing claims the democratically led island as part of Chinese territory and has threatened to invade. Taiwan has long been an irritant in relations. Washington has no formal relations with the island’s democratically elected government but is its main ally and U.S. law requires the government to ensure Taiwan can defend itself.
The number of people casting an early ballot in the presidential election now surpasses those who voted early during all of 2016. That’s more than 58 million people voting with eight days to go before Election Day. Democrats have been dominating early voting, but Republicans are slowly narrowing the gap. That’s because in-person early voting has kicked off in a number of states and President Donald Trump has convinced many of his supporters they should not vote with mail ballots. One out of every 4 of the voters is either new or infrequent, a sign of a potential record-setting turnout.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A deeply torn Senate is set to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Republicans are overpowering unified Democratic opposition to vote Monday on President Donald Trump’s nominee a week before Election Day. Democratic leaders want Vice President Mike Pence to stay away after his aides tested positive for COVID-19. Pence’s tie-breaking vote is not expected to be needed. Pence has not said if he plans to preside, as is customary. Democrats tell Pence it’s “not a risk worth taking.” With no real power to stop the vote, Democrats argue the winner of the Nov. 3 election should choose the nominee to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Virus patients now occupy more than half of France’s intensive care units, and some doctors are urging tougher restrictions after another record jump in confirmed infections. Dr. Jean-Francois Delfraissy, head of the government’s virus advisory body, expressed surprise Monday at the “brutality” of the rise, after more than 52,000 new cases were reported Sunday. He floated the idea of local lockdowns or extending France’s 9p.m. to 6 a.m. curfews, which currently affect more than two-thirds of its people. The number of people hospitalized in France with the virus has climbed sharply in recent weeks, putting renewed pressure on ICUs. Dr. Eric Caumes, an infectious disease expert in Paris, says Monday that “we have lost control of the epidemic.”
TOKYO (AP) — Global shares are lower amid widespread uncertainty over what the U.S. presidential election will portend for markets and economic policy. European shares fell early Monday after a day of declines in Asia. Investors remain worried over surging cases and deaths related to COVID-19, especially in the U.S. and Europe, and the implications for trade, tourism and economic activity. Investors are also eyeing whether more economic aid is coming in the U.S. amid the pandemic, including funding for testing and vaccines, and help for schools and state governments.
