Businesses and events\/gatherings are recommended to reduce occupancy to 50%, with a cap of 150 people.

But, also it is important to recognize the people of Jamestown and Stutsman County that did the right thing after we realized that we were in trouble and more stringent rules and regulations had to be put into place. We want now to remind everyone to stay diligent, just because a mask might not be required doesn&#8217;t mean that it might be a good idea!<\/p>\n<p>North Dakota receives less than 10,000 does per week of COVID 19 vaccine which is distributed across the state.\u00a0\u00a0 Central Valley Heath District\u00a0 Unit Administrator, Robin Iszler reports that 1664 doses of vaccine have been administered in Stutsman County but this is much less than what is needed to help protect the population from COVID 19.\u00a0 In order to obtain that herd immunity status \u2013 70% of the population must be vaccinated.\u00a0\u00a0 Robin adds,\u00a0 \u201cWe are a long way from vaccinating all those who are eligible.

The COVID Tracking Project reports that North Dakota\u2019s rolling average number of daily new cases over the past two weeks has decreased by more than 27%.

(AP) \u2014 Republican legislative leaders say a massive $1.1 billion bonding package aimed largely at financing infrastructure projects across North Dakota is being withdrawn and will be replaced by a far less costly proposal. Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner told The Associated Press the bill would be scrubbed. A new proposal that would be at least $300 million less will be coming from the House. Wardner and <strong>House Majority Leader Chet Pollert<\/strong> said priority will be given only to water and flood-control projects.

Bernice King, said in an online church service Monday that physical violence and hateful speech are \u201cout of control\u201d in the aftermath of a divisive election followed by a deadly siege on the U.S. Capitol in Washington by supporters of President Donald Trump. Bernice King quoted her father&#8217;s words from more than 50 years ago, saying mankind must choose between \u201cnonviolent coexistence or violent co-annihilation\u201d and that it&#8217;s possible to respond too late.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>INDIANAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 The FBI says a heavy metal guitarist who was photographed with the mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol and is accused of spraying police officers with a pepper-based bear spray irritant has been arrested.

Invited by incoming first lady Jill Biden, Brooks has known the Bidens for more than a decade, when Joe Biden was Obama\u2019s vice president.

Dr. Erica S. Pan is recommending that vaccine providers stop using one lot of the Moderna vaccine pending completion of an investigation. She says less than 10 people who got the shots at a single vaccination site needed medical attention. But she also says serious reactions to vaccinations are extremely rare.

Investors appear to have grown increasingly wary, with reports showing deepening economic devastation from the pandemic. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.7% Friday and other benchmarks also declined.

Biden and his wife, Jill, joined an assembly line in a Philadelphia parking lot, filling food boxes for people in need. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris also took part in a service event in Washington. Some 25,000 National Guard troops were being dispatched across the city to bolster security.

As Americans observed a national holiday Monday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo pleaded with federal authorities to block travelers from countries where new variants are spreading. He cited new versions detected in Britain, South Africa and Brazil. A vast effort is underway to get Americans vaccinated, but the campaign is off to an uneven start. According to the latest federal data, about 31 million doses of vaccine have been distributed, but fewer than 11 million people have received at least one dose.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; .TONIGHT&#8230;Mostly cloudy.
