(AP) \u2014 North Dakota health officials reported their first deaths due to the coronavirus in four days, with three fatalities confirmed in Tuesday\u2019s update. A total of 1,355 people have died since the start of the pandemic. Data compiled Monday by The COVID Tracking Project showed that North Dakota\u2019s death toll dropped from sixth to seventh highest per capita at about 178 deaths per 100,000 people. Officials said 248 people tested positive out of about 6,100 tests in the last day, a positivity rate of 4.62%. That increased the number of total cases to 94,968. Hospitalizations dropped by four, to 70.<\/p>\n NDDoH<\/p>\n COVID 19 Stats<\/p>\n Tues. Jan. 12,\u00a0 2021<\/p>\n 11-a.m.<\/p>\n Update Tues.

(AP) \u2014 Investigators say alcohol may have played a role in a traffic crash that killed three people and injured two others in Grand Forks last weekend. Police say the 21-year-old driver who caused the crash, Jenessa Kelley of Crookston, Minnesota, died of her injuries as well as two people in one of the three vehicles she struck. Fifty-two-year-old Laura Van Erem and 72-year-old Nancy Sand were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash Saturday afternoon. Witnesses told police Kelley was driving at an extremely high rate of speed before she struck the vehicles in downtown Grand Forks.<\/p>\n BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A bill that would prohibit a governor from giving cash or endorsing a member of the Legislature is getting a cool reception from both GOP and Democratic leaders. The legislation introduced by Rep. Jeffery Magrum comes after GOP Gov. Doug Burgum contributed millions of dollars to several candidates in elections last year in an attempt to remove some incumbents from his own party. Magrum says Burgum crossed the separation-of-powers-line by reaching deep into his own pockets to buy a Legislature more obliging to his wishes. Legislative leaders say the contributions are \u201cfreedom of speech.\u201d<\/p>\n BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The Republican-led Legislature has signaled its reluctance to back legislation that would overhaul a state law that makes it a felony for people who have HIV to knowingly transmit the disease. Under North Dakota law, a person convicted of exposing a partner to HIV without their consent could face up to 20 years in prison. It\u2019s only an infraction with up to a $1,000 fine for someone who knowingly transmits other sexually transmitted diseases. Rep. Gretchen Dobervich said current law is inconsistent and outdated. A 14-member House panel gave the bill filed by Democrats a \u201cdo not pass\u201d<\/p>\n In sports…<\/p>\n The following were highlights of the meeting:<\/p>\n Follow NDHSAA on Twitter at @NDHSAA<\/a> and visit www.ndhsaanow.com<\/a> for the latest NDHSAA sports and activities news from around the state.<\/p>\n In world and national news…<\/p>\n WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Barely a month into a mass vaccination campaign to stop the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trump administration has unexpectedly shifted gears to speed the delivery of shots. A slow start had triggered widespread concern from states and public health officials. But Tuesday, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar announced two major changes. First, the government will no longer hold back required second doses of vaccines, practically doubling supply. And, second, states should immediately start vaccinating other groups lower down the priority scale, including people age 65 and older and younger people with certain health problems. That aligns the Trump administration with President-elect Joe Biden, who earlier said he would not hold back second doses.<\/p>\n WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says the violent mob at the Capitol last week underscored the need for a swift confirmation of President-elect Joe Biden\u2019s national security picks. In a letter to Senate Democrats, shared first with the Associated Press, Schumer laid out an ambitious legislative agenda and said his caucus would work around Republicans if they are not willing to join in the efforts. The Senate often confirms some nominees on Inauguration Day. But this year it will also likely be convening Trump\u2019s impeachment trial. The House is set to impeach Trump this week on a sole charge of inciting insurrection in the riot.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n (AP)\u00a0 Vice President Mike Pence has told governors on a call about the coronavirus that \u201cour time\u201d is coming to an end and a \u201cnew administration\u201d is taking over. Pence said Tuesday that the administration is working \u201cdiligently\u201d with President-elect Joe Biden\u2019s team. He promised governors a \u201cseamless transition.\u201d He says the objective \u201cis that there is no interruption in our continuous efforts to put the health of the American people first.\u201d Pence\u2019s comments come as the U.S. House moves forward toward impeachment or other steps to forcibly remove Trump from office after a mob of his supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol last week to stop Congress from affirming Biden\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ALAMO, Texas (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump is taking no responsibility for his part in fomenting a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol last week, despite his comments encouraging supporters to march on the Capitol and praise for them while they were still carrying out the assault. Trump says, \u201cPeople thought that what I said was totally appropriate.\u201d He made the comments Tuesday during his first appearance in public since the Capitol siege, which came as lawmakers were tallying Electoral College votes affirming President-elect Joe Biden\u2019s victory. Trump ha arrived in Texas to trumpet his campaign against illegal immigration in an attempt to burnish his legacy with eight days remaining in his term.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The State Department says Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has canceled what would have been his final official trip abroad as concerns grow over potential violence at next week’s presidential inauguration. Less than 18 hours after announcing that Pompeo would be traveling to Brussels this week to close out his tenure as America’s top diplomat, the department said Tuesday it had pulled down all senior-level overseas travel. Pompeo had been planning to meet the chief of NATO and Belgium’s foreign minister in Brussels. A previously planned stop in Luxembourg was scrapped last week due to the coronavirus pandemic. U.S. officials say the cancellation of Pompeo’s trip is intended to support the transition to the incoming Biden administration.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n DETROIT (AP) \u2014 The Associated Press has learned that former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, his health director and other ex-officials have been told they\u2019re being charged after a new investigation of the Flint water scandal. The majority Black city’s water system was contaminated with lead in 2014-15. It was also blamed for a deadly outbreak of Legionnaires\u2019 disease. Two people with knowledge of the planned prosecution said the attorney general\u2019s office has informed defense lawyers about indictments in Flint and told them to expect initial court appearances soon. They spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) \u2014 A Republican Congresswoman has been removed from a panel at Harvard University for making comments that perpetuated President Donald Trump\u2019s baseless claims of widespread voter fraud. Harvard officials say U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York was removed from a senior advisory committee at Harvard\u2019s school of government after she declined to resign voluntarily. A statement from the school’s dean said Stefanik \u201cmade public assertions about voter fraud in November\u2019s presidential election that have no basis in evidence.\u201d Stefanik responded that it\u2019s a \u201crite of passage and badge of honor\u201d to be boycotted by U.S. universities. Stefanik was among 147 Republicans who opposed certifying President-elect Joe Biden\u2019s election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CSi Weather… …HIGH WIND WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH LATE THURSDAY NIGHT… * WHAT…Northwest winds to 40 mph with gusts up to 60 mph possible. * WHERE…Central North Dakota including the James River Valley. * WHEN…From Wednesday night through late Thursday night. * IMPACTS…Travel could be difficult, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":105716,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-216741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wb-show"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=216741"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216741\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":216787,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216741\/revisions\/216787"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/105716"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=216741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=216741"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=216741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
