Wednesday related to quarantining of close contacts of positive COVID-19 cases was rescinded Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Health clarified that the intent of the order was to align with CDC guidelines, emphasize the urgent need for those exposed to positive individuals to avoid potentially spreading the disease to others, and encourage local officials to work together on the best strategies to combat COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Interim State Health Officer Dr. Paul Mariani said, \u201cThis pandemic remains a threat. Nationally, 2.9% of reported COVID-19 cases have resulted in death. While that percentage is just over 1% in North Dakota thanks to strong coronavirus response efforts at the state and local levels, cases continue to rise and our state is on track for a record number of deaths of individuals with COVID-19 in September.\u00a0 While this order is being rescinded, we continue to stress the importance of quarantining and isolation to bend the curve back in the right direction in North Dakota. Whenever possible, all close contacts of individuals infected with COVID-19 should avoid contact with others for 14 days past the last day they were in contact with the person who tested positive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rescinded order had expanded an existing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.nd.gov\/sites\/www\/files\/documents\/Files\/MSS\/coronavirus\/State%20Health%20Officer%20Orders\/2020-06.1_Amended_Close_Contact.pdf\">quarantine order<\/a> for household contacts to apply to all close contacts, following U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance. The North Dakota Department of Health has always recommended close contacts <a href=\"https:\/\/gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fif-you-are-sick%2Fquarantine.html&amp;data=02%7C01%7Cmnowatzki%40nd.gov%7Ca2f0e950c78e43a45e3008d85fd7e29c%7C2dea0464da514a88bae2b3db94bc0c54%7C0%7C0%7C637364728113594113&amp;sdata=V0RInfT7GeJ%2BNv64gIZ49%2F%2F4i8EaTXca0TtaSo8aGAk%3D&amp;reserved=0\">quarantine<\/a> to reduce the spread of COVID-19, but previously the order referred only to household contacts.<\/p>\n<p>As required by state law, both the original order and amended order referenced that failure to cooperate with quarantine was punishable by a Class B misdemeanor, though that provision hadn\u2019t been applied since the original order was issued in April. The order continued to allow for essential workforce exemptions for close contacts.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Doug Burgum says, \u201cFrom the beginning, our approach to this pandemic has emphasized personal responsibility and a light touch of government, as evidenced by the fact that we\u2019re one of the most open states, with schools and universities back in session, the economy open and the nation\u2019s sixth-lowest unemployment rate.\u00a0 Given the nature of this disease, it takes community collaboration to bend the curve, and in many counties right now as we reach record cases and positive rates, the curve is going the wrong direction. We need a light touch of government with more local leadership and collaboration, and we feel we can better support those efforts by working more closely with local public health and community leaders to identify mitigation strategies that will work and be supported in each community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the most updated and timely information and updates related to COVID-19, visit the\u00a0NDDoH\u00a0website at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.health.nd.gov\/coronavirus\">www.health.nd.gov\/coronavirus<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-196488\" src=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/CVHD-LOGO-300x202.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/CVHD-LOGO-300x202.jpg 300w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/CVHD-LOGO-260x175.jpg 260w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/CVHD-LOGO.jpg 445w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Jamestown\u00a0 (CVHD)\u00a0 Covid-19 testing will continue this Friday, September 25, 2020, from 10:00 AM \u2013 12:00 PM at the Civic Center.\u00a0 2nd St NE (road over viaduct) from 2nd Ave to 5th Ave NE; also 3rd Ave NE (in front of Civic Center) will continue to be closed during these days from 8AM \u2013 1PM.<\/p>\n<p>There will be signs put in place for entrance to the Depot as well as where to enter for testing.<\/p>\n<p>This will continue EVERY FRIDAY from 8AM \u2013 1PM through December 18, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>These streets will be open on Friday, October 9, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Motorists should use extreme caution in this area.<\/p>\n<p>Questions regarding testing; please contact Central Valley Health at 252-8130.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Appointment\u00a0 are not required but those who wish to receive a test are required to complete the online screening questionnaire in advance,<\/strong> which can be found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/testreg.nd.gov\/\">https:\/\/testreg.nd.gov\/<\/a>.\u00a0 Completing the online screening questionnaire does not guarantee you a test.<\/p>\n<p>Additional details:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There is no cost for the test and health insurance is not processed.<\/li>\n<li>Proof of residency will not be required.<\/li>\n<li>The testing process itself takes approximately 15 minutes.

(AP) \u2014 The owners of a defunct Bismarck spa have been ordered to pay nearly $380,000 for selling gift cards even as they made plans to close the business in 2017. Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem filed a civil lawsuit against Jill Becker and Brent Voorhees, owners of Spa D\u2019Athena, accusing them of selling the worthless gift cards and using the money to pay expenses at a separate business owned by Voorhees and to make Becker\u2019s child support payments. While the lawsuit was pending in Burleigh County, the two moved to Nevada and filed for bankruptcy. Officials said it\u2019s unlikely customers will be able to recover the money they spent on the gift certificates.<\/p>\n<p>In world national news&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) \u2014 Authorities are pleading for calm while activists are vowing to fight on in Kentucky\u2019s largest city after a gunman wounded two police officers during anguished protests over the decision not to charge officers for killing Breonna Taylor. A new round of demonstrations in U.S. cities was set off by outrage over a grand jury\u2019s failure to bring homicide charges against the officers who burst into the Black woman\u2019s apartment six months ago. The state attorney general said the investigation showed officers were acting in self-defense when they responded to gunfire from Taylor\u2019s boyfriend. Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer insisted Thursday that violence won&#8217;t cure his city&#8217;s pain.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) \u2014 White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany says she\u2019s not aware of any conversation between President Donald Trump and the family of Breonna Taylor but that their hearts go out to her family. Asked what the president\u2019s message is to Taylor\u2019s family, McEnany said what happened is \u201ca horrible tragedy\u201d and that their hearts are also with the two police officers who were shot Wednesday night during protests in Louisville. Cities around the country saw protesters take to the streets following a Kentucky grand jury\u2019s decision to not indict officers in Taylor\u2019s fatal shooting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump was booed as he paid respects to late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Trump and first lady Melania Trump \u2014 both wearing masks \u2014 went to the court Thursday and stood silently at the top of the steps of the court and looked down at Ginsburg\u2019s flag-draped coffin. Ginsburg\u2019s death has sparked a controversy over the balance of the court just weeks before the November presidential election. Trump is expected to name a replacement on Saturday. Moments after Trump arrived at the court, booing could be heard from spectators who then chanted \u201cVote him out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Since Joe Biden ran away with the Democratic presidential nomination in March, leading progressives have accepted him \u2014 sometimes grudgingly \u2014 as their party\u2019s leader. But, in the final weeks of the campaign, the Supreme Court vacancy is threatening to inflame old divides. Some leading activists on the left are pressing Biden to endorse expanding the number of justices should he win the White House and Democrats take control of the Senate. But Biden ran a relatively centrist primary campaign, and he hasn\u2019t embraced those calls, worried they may intensify the nation\u2019s partisan split.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>PHILADELPHIA (AP) \u2014 Officials from six states and the District of Columbia have asked a federal judge to halt what they say are slowdowns at the U.S. Postal Service that threaten the upcoming presidential election. They argued Thursday in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia that on-time delivery dropped sharply in July and has not fully rebounded as the nation battles a pandemic and prepares for an election that could hinge on mail-in ballots. Judges in Washington state and New York issued emergency orders this month in similar cases. The states involved in Thursday&#8217;s hearing are Pennsylvania, California, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts and North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said Thursday that the government\u2019s top priorities in any new economic relief package should be to provide affordable loans to small businesses and further support for millions of Americans who remain unemployed. With the prospects for any new federal aid package appearing dim, members of the Senate Banking Committee pressed both officials to list improvements that could be quickly made in the nearly $3 trillion in support that Congress has passed to fight the pandemic-induced recession that\u2019s left nearly 11 million people still jobless.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Many American workers applying for unemployment benefits after being thrown out of a job by the coronavirus face a new complication: States\u2019 efforts to prevent fraud have delayed or disrupted their payments.
