Doug Burgum on Monday announced he will sign an amended executive order lowering North Dakota\u2019s statewide risk level for COVID-19 from high risk (orange) to moderate risk (yellow) and increasing the capacity limits for restaurants, bars and gatherings as active cases and hospitalizations due to COVID-19 have decreased in North Dakota.<\/p>\n<p>Bars, restaurants and other food service establishments have been operating at up to 50 percent of their licensed seated capacity, not to exceed 150 patrons, since Nov. 16. The capacity limits were one of several mitigation measures announced Nov. 13 to slow the spread of COVID-19 as active cases and hospitalizations were peaking.<\/p>\n<p>Under the amended executive order, these establishments will be able to start operating at 65 percent of licensed facility capacity, not to exceed 200 patrons, beginning 8 a.m. Jan. 8. Seating arrangements and tables must still allow for at least 6 feet of physical distance between individual parties; dance areas must be closed; service must be provided to seated patrons only; and masks must be worn by owners, managers and employees at all times, and by patrons except when eating or drinking.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, banquet, ballroom and event venues, which have been limited to 25 percent capacity since Nov. 16, will be able to start operating at 50 percent capacity as of 8 a.m. Jan. 8, not to exceed the ND Smart Restart capacity limits, which will be updated later today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A State Health Officer order 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, remains in effect until 12:01 a.m. Jan. 18.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In conjunction with today\u2019s announcement, Burgum strongly encouraged communities to take advantage of the state\u2019s ample supply of BinaxNOW rapid tests, which deliver results in 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs more and more businesses, communities, school districts and higher education institutions implement rapid testing, we can continue to screen out asymptomatic positives to break the chain of transmission, slow the spread and further open up restaurants, bars and event centers,\u201d Burgum said. \u201cSuccessful deployment of vaccines and more widespread use of effective therapeutics also will help us preserve hospital capacity, protect the vulnerable and keep students learning in person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hospitalizations due to COVID-19 in North Dakota have decreased to 98 from more than 300 in mid-November, while active cases have decreased to 1,915 since peaking at over 10,200 on Nov. 13, according to the Department of Health. The state\u2019s 14-day rolling average positivity rate also has decreased from 16 percent to 4.4 percent since Nov. 17.<\/p>\n<p>State officials are closely monitoring the data for a potential post-holiday surge in COVID-19 cases and are concerned about possible cases being missed because of low levels of testing, and will continue to evaluate the current state risk level and look for opportunities to return to a more localized approach, including adjusting risk levels on a county-by-county basis To avoid another surge in cases and hospitalizations, residents are urged to physically distance, wear masks, wash hands, limit gatherings and take advantage of testing opportunities.

Wayne Stenehjem says too much time has passed to prosecute the two lone living clergy members. The investigation began when the Fargo and Bismarck dioceses provided the state a list of 53 clergy members who have had substantiated allegations of sexual abuse of a minor. Stenehjem says there likely was enough evidence to charge the Rev. Norman Dukart of Dickinson and the Rev. Odo Muggli, an Order of Saint Benedict priest at Assumption Abbey in Richardton, However, the statute of limitations has run out on their cases.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-67441\" src=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/ndlegchambers-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/ndlegchambers-300x187.jpg 300w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/ndlegchambers-280x175.jpg 280w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/ndlegchambers.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>BISMARCK, N.D.

The lawsuit by Eric Poemoceah is the second such lawsuit to be dismissed in recent weeks. The complaint, filed last April, said the Oklahoma man was tackled while running from law enforcement and suffered a broken pelvis.

(AP) \u2014 The economy continues improving in nine Midwest and Plains states but business leaders are less optimistic after the latest surge in coronavirus cases in the region, according to a new monthly survey released Monday. The overall index for the region suggests strong growth even though it dipped to 64.1 in December from November\u2019s 69. Any score above 50 on the survey\u2019s indexes suggests growth, while a score below 50 suggests recession. Creighton University economist Ernie Goss, who oversees the survey, said the survey\u2019s confidence index suggests business leaders are worried about the economy after the recent growth in virus cases across the region.<\/p>\n<p>In world and national news&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>LONDON (AP) \u2014 British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced a new national lockdown for England until at least mid-February to combat a fast-spreading new version of the coronavirus. Johnson said people must stay at home again, as they were ordered to do so in the first wave of the pandemic in March, this time because the new virus variant was spreading in a \u201cfrustrating and alarming\u201d way. He said Monday that hospitals are under more pressure from COVID than at any time since the start of the pandemic. Under the new rules, which are set to come into effect as soon as possible, primary and secondary schools and colleges will be closed for face to face learning except for the children of key workers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>PORT WASHINGTON, Wis.

Police in Grafton, about 20 miles north of Milwaukee, arrested Advocate Aurora Health pharmacist Steven Brandenburg last week following an investigation into the 57 spoiled vials of the Moderna vaccine. Officials say the vials contained enough doses to inoculate more than 500 people.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg rejected the lawsuit Monday. He says it \u201crests on a fundamental and obvious misreading of the Constitution.\u201d The case was brought against Vice President Mike Pence, Congress and the Electoral College. In addition to Wisconsin, other states targeted in the lawsuit were Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

If Democratic challengers Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff defeat the two Republican incumbents, control of the Senate will shift to the Democrats, who also will control the White House and House of Representatives.

Monday&#8217;s letter does not explicitly acknowledge President Donald Trump\u2019s election defeat nor does it refer to Biden by name. Instead, it gives lawmakers \u201csome encouragement and closing thoughts\u201d as DeVos prepares to exit the Education Department.
