Bismarck\u00a0 (CSi) Governor Doug Burgum held his weekly news briefing<\/a> Monday afternoon at the state capital in Bismarck.\u00a0 He was joined by Human Services Executive Director Chris Jones.<\/p>\n

Burgum said by 10 – percent hospitalizations stemming from COVID-19 have been recorded, recently.\u00a0 He said community spread is causing a dramatic increase in positive cases, leading to a possible\u00a0 large increase in hospitalization over the next two to three weeks.<\/p>\n

Meeting with hospital officials, Burgum said pressure on hospitals is currently increasing. Some hospitals are suspending elective surgeries.<\/p>\n

86 percent of hospitalizations are non COVID-19 related.<\/p>\n

The North Dakota team is working \u00a0with hosptials to ensure availability to expand worker eligibility.<\/p>\n

Plans are being studied to possibly move staff from one hospital to another where healthcare worker shortages are great.<\/p>\n

Improving hospitalizations for COVID patients is now decreasing to an average of seven and a half days.<\/p>\n

Rapid testing is being shifted to healthcare providers, along with expanding at larger colleges and universities.<\/p>\n
