Meanwhile, the number of virus patients in medical facilities rose by 10 on Monday, to 332. North Dakota has continued to rank first in the country for new cases per capita in the last two weeks.

This is also the highest monthly demand in airline passengers that North Dakota has experienced since the pandemic began last Spring.<\/p>\n<p>North Dakota Aeronautics Commission, Executive Director, Kyle Wanner, says, \u201cThe positive trend in passenger numbers over the last few months is an encouraging sign that travelers are beginning to once again look at aviation as a safe and cost-effective mode of transportation. Domestic airline fares in our state are currently averaging around a 10-year low which has greatly helped to spur passenger demand. Additionally, the recent news of the successful COVID-19 vaccine trials has helped to provide hope that the recovery in air passenger demand will continue into the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-20848\" src=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Jamestown-Park-rec-300x202.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Jamestown-Park-rec-300x202.png 300w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Jamestown-Park-rec-259x175.png 259w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Jamestown-Park-rec.png 445w\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" \/>Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 Jamestown Parks &amp; Recreation Department is informing the public about implementing measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>The news release states:<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, November 13th, Governor Doug Burgum issued Executive Order 2020-43.<\/p>\n<p>The order was issued to slow and mitigate the rapid spread of COVID-19 throughout our state and addresses specific items including those that affect operations at Jamestown Parks and Recreation facilities.

(AP) \u2014 President-elect Joe Biden is warning of dire consequences if President Donald Trump and his administration continue to refuse to coordinate with his transition team on the coronavirus pandemic and block briefings on national security, policy issues and vaccine plans. The remarks Monday marked Biden\u2019s toughest to date on Trump\u2019s failure to acknowledge his election loss and cooperate with the incoming administration for a peaceful transfer of power. Biden told reporters during a news conference in Delaware: &#8220;More people may die if we don\u2019t coordinate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 President-elect Joe Biden is drawing from the senior ranks of his campaign to fill out an increasingly diverse White House leadership team. People familiar with Biden\u2019s initial decisions have confirmed that former campaign manager Jen O\u2019Malley Dillon will serve as a deputy chief of staff, while campaign co-chair Louisiana Rep. Cedric Richmond and campaign adviser Steve Ricchetti will play senior roles in the new administration. Those familiar with the decisions were not authorized to disclose internal discussions ahead of a formal staffing announcement expected for Tuesday. Late last week, Biden tapped former senior campaign adviser Ron Klain to serve as his chief of staff.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A hearing on the Trump campaign\u2019s federal lawsuit seeking to prevent Pennsylvania officials from certifying the vote results remains on track. It&#8217;s scheduled for Tuesday in Williamsport, after the judge quickly denied the campaign\u2019s new lawyer\u2019s request for a delay. The Trump campaign wants to prevent certification of state voting results that give President-elect Joe Biden Pennsylvania&#8217;s 20 electoral votes. The lawsuit centers on election procedures that were not uniform across the state. Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar has asked to have the lawsuit thrown out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Now sold on Amazon: insulin and inhalers. The company said Tuesday that it has opened an online pharmacy, giving shoppers the chance to buy their medication on their phones and computers. The move propels Amazon into a new business and could shake up the pharmacy industry. Big chains like CVS and Walgreens rely on their pharmacies to bring them a steady flow of shoppers who stop by frequently to pick up their medications. Amazon said it will offer commonly prescribed medications starting, including creams, pills and medications that need to stay cold, like insulin. Shoppers have to set up a profile on Amazon\u2019s website and have doctors send prescriptions to Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>TOKYO (AP) \u2014 Global shares are mixed as optimism that a vaccine may soon control the coronavirus buoyed only some regional indexes. Benchmarks in Europe fell in early Tuesday trading. Japan&#8217;s benchmark finished at a 29-year high. Shares rose in Australia, slipped in South Korea, and were mixed in China. Moderna said its COVID-19 vaccine appears to be 94.5% effective, according to preliminary data. It\u2019s the second time this month a company has announced encouraging numbers about a vaccine, boosting hopes the global economy can return to some semblance of normalcy next year. A vaccine adds momentum to the Tokyo Olympics, which was postponed until next year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; REST OF TODAY..Decreasing clouds. \u00a0 Highs in the upper 30s.
