The Food and Drug Administration\u2019s decision on Monday may help lift public confidence in vaccinations as the nation battles the most contagious coronavirus mutant yet. The FDA has never before had so much evidence to judge a shot\u2019s safety. More than 200 million doses already have been administered in the U.S. since emergency use began in December. The decision could push some vaccine holdouts toward getting the shots. And it could spur more vaccine mandates by companies, universities and local governments.<\/p>\n The North Dakota Department of Health on Monday held a news conference <\/a>on COVID-19 updates.<\/p>\n A statement from the NDDoH says:<\/p>\n The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted full approval of the first COVID-19 vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 disease in individuals 16 years of age and older. The vaccine also continues to be available under emergency use authorization (EUA), including for individuals 12 through 15 years of age, and for the administration of a third dose to certain immunocompromised individuals.<\/p>\n Govern Doug Burgum\u00a0 says, \u201cThe health and safety of North Dakota citizens remains our top priority, and safe, effective vaccines are our best tool to preserve hospital capacity and protect against COVID-19, including the highly contagious Delta variant spreading rapidly across our state,\u201d North Dakota. Today\u2019s announcement that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine meets the FDA\u2019s high standards for full approval instills further confidence that the vaccine is safe and effective and helps address vaccine hesitancy related to the emergency use authorization. Individuals who still have questions or concerns about the vaccines are encouraged to visit with their doctor or medical provider.\u201d<\/p>\n More than 50% of North Dakotans have already taken the important step of choosing to be vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus. Vaccination continues to be the strongest defense against serious illness. Those who have been waiting for FDA approval are encouraged to make an appointment to be vaccinated to protect themselves and those they care about.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Call CVHD at 701-252-8130 to register.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hi Everybody,<\/p>\n Wasn\u2019t it nice having rain?\u00a0It even smells good!\u00a0One fellow said,\u00a0\u201cI just sat in my car and watched it rain\u201d.\u00a0I saw two young boys who were drenched and riding bikes in shorts & tennis shoes \u2026\u2026 they were smiling!!<\/p>\n Thursday evening people enjoyed Summer Nights on Central with food, fellowship and music, a great combination.<\/p>\n The COVID Delta Variant is rearing its ugly head.\u00a0Our state and county numbers are rising at uncomfortable rates and people are being hospitalized.

They quickly re-advertised, dropped the entry fees (thanks to a generous support from Bank Forward) and reached out to again to artists. Miraculously, the show entries began to arrive. These times haven\u2019t been easy on artists with galleries closed, exhibitions cancelled and sales down. All of the entry fees for this exhibition go to support small cash awards so Bank Forward stepping up to assist with covering these costs is a wonderful gesture and greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n The community can also help artists during this pandemic by visiting the show and perhaps purchasing a one-of-a-kind special gift of art.

(AP) \u2014 A petroleum company has reported a saltwater spill in northwestern North Dakota to state regulators. The Bismarck Tribune reports Whiting Oil and Gas says the spill occurred Thursday. The company told regulators that a broken fitting in a pipeline system operated by Goodnight Midstream resulted in the spill at a well site 11 miles south of Stanley in Mountrail County. The company says 1,400 barrels containing 58,800 gallons of saltwater spilled but was contained and most of the fluid has been recovered. Saltwater, also known as brine, can come up along with oil and gas from a well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n CARPIO, N.D.

The Highway Patrol says 41-year-old Adrian Benson, of Burlington, was diving a GMC pickup that was trying to pass a Ford pickup when his vehicle collided head-on with an oncoming semi around 1 a.m. Sunday.

She\u2019s taking control of a state government desperate to get back to business after months of distractions over sexual harassment allegations against Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo submitted his resignation letter late Monday. Hochul\u2019s ascent to the top job comes as the state is dealing with a rising number of COVID-19 cases and an economy still hurting from the pandemic.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n GENEVA (AP) \u2014 The U.N. human rights chief has warned that she has credible reports of \u201csummary executions\u201d and restrictions on women in areas under Taliban control in Afghanistan. Michelle’s Bachelet’s comments Tuesday could fuel fears of what the Taliban’s rule might hold a week before U.S. forces are set to withdraw. Bachelet urged the Human Rights Council to take \u201cbold and vigorous action\u201d to monitor the rights situation in Afghanistan as she sought to ensure that international attention on the country doesn\u2019t wane. In the wake of their stunning takeover, Taliban leaders have promised to restore security and tried to project an image of moderation, but many Afghans are skeptical.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The speedy Taliban takeover of Afghanistan has revived alarms about a resurgent al-Qaida and new terrorism threats against the U.S. The group’s danger to the United States had been eclipsed in the past two decades by other threats, but experts are concerned that al-Qaida could again be given unfettered safe harbor by the Taliban. The renewed attention to international terrorism comes as the U.S. is confronting a swell of national security threats from China, Russia and, closer to home, a surge in domestic violent extremism.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n HONOLULU (AP) \u2014 Hawaii Governor David Ige is asking people not to visit the islands. He said it\u2019s not a good time to travel to the islands and that he wants visitors and residents to limit travel to essential purposes. He is making this request while the state struggles to control COVID-19 as the highly contagious delta variant spreads in the community. As part of the effort to curb the spread, Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi says he will restrict indoor gatherings to 10 people and outdoor gatherings to 25. Blangiardi says the rules would affect weddings and other events and take effect on Wednesday. He\u2019s also urging people to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TOKYO (AP) \u2014 Global shares are mostly gaining, boosted by a near-record rise on Wall Street. Still, early momentum Tuesday began to fizzle over worries about the economic fallout from surging coronavirus infections in Asia. European shares were little changed and mixed in early trading. Benchmarks in Japan, Australia, South Korea and China all finished higher. Some parts of Asia have had slower vaccine rollouts than the U.S. and Europe and are at a greater risk for the more contagious delta variant. The relatively slow vaccination campaigns outside mainland China have hurt consumer spending, tourism, industrial production and exports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CSi Weather… REST OF TODAY…Partly sunny.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A state collection program has taken in about 130 tons of chemicals this year. The Bismarck Tribune reports the state Project Safe Sent Program gives farmers, ranchers, pesticide handlers, government agencies and homeowners a way to dispose of herbicides, insecticides, rodenticides and fungicides they can’t use for free. The state Agriculture Department said collections in 12 communities this year totaled more than 258,100 pounds of unusable pesticides. Nearly 350 farmers, ranchers, applicators, homeowners and others took part in the program. Last year the program collected about 57 tons at eight sites. The record is nearly 261 tons, set in 2019.<\/p>\n\n
