BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 With coronavirus cases soaring in North Dakota, Gov. Doug Burgum moved to allow the state’s beleaguered hospitals to use infected but asymptomatic doctors and nurse to treat COVID-19 patients. Although hospitals pushed for the right, many nurses say it will make their lives even harder than they’ve been during the pandemic. Adam Johnston, an emergency room nurse in Fargo, says it will be impossible to not wonder if other nurses in the break room or cafeteria might be infected. And nurses also questioned why the Republican governor would make such a move when for months he resisted more common steps such as statewide orders requiring masks or limiting the size of gatherings. Experts say other states are weighing similar moves.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Bismarck\u00a0 (CSi) \u2013 Gov. Doug Burgum Friday night announced several mitigation measures aimed at slowing the accelerating spread of COVID-19 in North Dakota in order to protect the vulnerable, ensure hospital capacity and keep schools and the economy open.<\/p>\n

The measures took effect on Saturday November 14, 2020.<\/p>\n

Video Message<\/a><\/p>\n

The City of Jamestown additional Emergency Measures <\/a>became effective November 12, 2020, approved by the City Council.\u00a0 These additional emergency measures shall continue to be in effect in Jamestown for the duration of the emergency and may be further extended or earlier terminated, as the case may be, by further action of the City Council<\/p>\n

Capacity is strained across the state\u2019s health care system, jeopardizing the ability of hospitals to provide the first-rate treatment North Dakotans are accustomed to \u2013 not only for COVID-19 patients, but also for those seeking care for heart attacks, cancer, trauma and other urgent needs, Burgum noted.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cOur doctors and nurses heroically working on the front lines need our help, and they need it now. Since the beginning, we\u2019ve taken a data-driven approach to our pandemic response, focusing on saving lives and livelihoods. Right now, the data demands a higher level of mitigation efforts to reverse these dangerous trends, to slow the spread of this virus and to avoid the need for economic shutdowns,\u201d Burgum said in a video message announcing the measures. \u201cOur situation has changed, and we must change with it. Tonight, we\u2019re announcing four measures designed to reduce the spread of infections in our communities to protect our most vulnerable and to ensure hospital capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The measures include a State Health Officer order<\/a> requiring face coverings to be worn in indoor businesses and indoor public settings as well as outdoor public settings where physical distancing isn\u2019t possible. The order, signed by interim State Health Officer Dirk Wilke, is effective from Nov. 14 through Dec. 13. It includes exceptions for children under age 5, individuals with a medical or mental health condition or disability that makes it unreasonable to wear a mask, and religious services.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said this week<\/a> that \u201cadopting universal masking policies can help avert future lockdowns,\u201d and that masks protect not only the people around the individual wearing the mask but also the mask wearer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe most effective weapon against COVID-19 is wearing a mask,\u201d Wilke said. \u201cThis is a simple tool, but one that\u2019s critical in helping protect our loved ones and slow the spread.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Burgum signed an executive order<\/a> today to implement the other mitigation measures, which take effect Monday, Nov. 16, and are as follows:<\/p>\n
