As a result, not all people with recent diagnosis will be contacted by a case worker for an interview.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Case workers will continue to investigate and\/or assist with investigations for<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>K-12 students<\/li>\n<li>Higher education students<\/li>\n<li>People over the age of 55<\/li>\n<li>Health care facilities, long term care, and congregate settings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>People who test positive for or are diagnosed with COVID-19 should follow the guidance for care from their health care provider. If you have health conditions that may put you at increased risk for a severe COVID-19 illness, contact your health care provider as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>People who test positive or have been recently diagnosed for COVID-19 are recommended to self-isolate to avoid spreading the infection to others. Whether or not you are contacted by a case worker, all people with COVID-19 are recommended to follow these basic isolation guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>Johns Hopkins University researchers say the rolling average of daily new cases in North Dakota has increased by 291% over the past two weeks. One in every 97 people in the state tested positive in the past week.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your isolation period starts from the first day you develop symptoms or from the day you were tested if you don\u2019t have symptoms; this is considered day zero.<\/li>\n<li>Stay home for a minimum of five days<\/li>\n<li>If at the end of day five, you have been fever-free for 24 hours (without using fever reducing medication) and your symptoms are gone or are improving, you can leave your home. Wearing a well-fitting mask when around others, even at home, is recommended through day 10.<\/li>\n<li>If on day five, you have a fever or symptoms have not improved or have worsened, continue to isolate through day 10. If before day 10, your symptoms improve and you have been fever-free for 24 hours, you can leave the house at that time. Wearing a well-fitting mask when around others, even at home, is recommended through day 10.<\/li>\n<li>If you tested positive when you did not have symptoms but later developed symptoms, you should calculate our isolation period based on the date of symptom onset and this day would be your new day zero.<\/li>\n<li>Individuals who work in certain settings such as health care and congregate living may have additional work restrictions and should follow guidance from your occupational health representative for when you can return to work.<\/li>\n<li>To help you calculate your isolation period the NDDoH has an isolation period calculator online at <a href=\"https:\/\/lnks.gd\/l\/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDAsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjAxMTAuNTE1NDQ3ODEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwOi8vd3d3LmhlYWx0aC5uZC5nb3YvY292aWRjYWxjdWxhdG9yP3V0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1nb3ZkZWxpdmVyeSJ9.-Z0mpgA2nqfs5PQkDzDBsN4lJBg-M5-h6eqRspl-Eew\/s\/1528509404\/br\/124437028286-l\">nd.gov\/covidcalculator<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>More guidance for isolation can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/lnks.gd\/l\/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjAxMTAuNTE1NDQ3ODEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5oZWFsdGgubmQuZ292L3doYXQtZG8taWYteW91LXRlc3RlZC1wb3NpdGl2ZS1jb3ZpZC0xOT91dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Z292ZGVsaXZlcnkifQ.0QYYm_XG1K6sMo6aUGY7pI9Q6VNYDwWRGRMc8yoeRdU\/s\/1528509404\/br\/124437028286-l\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Cases should continue to inform close contacts of their exposure.

The Divide County Sheriff\u2019s Department says the oil storage tank that exploded held about 1,300 barrels of oil northeast of Grenora. KXNet News reports the fire has been contained at the site and officials are letting it burn out. The cause of the explosion is unknown at this time<\/p>\n<p>MADISON, Wis. (AP) \u2014 The man who bought an AR-15-style rifle for Kyle Rittenhouse has pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor in a deal with prosecutors to avoid prison. A Wisconsin judge accepted Dominick Black\u2019s plea on Monday. Prosecutors dropped two felony counts of intent to deliver a dangerous weapon to a minor. Contributing to the delinquency of a minor is a non-criminal citation. Black was 18 when he purchased the rifle in May 2020. Rittenhouse was 17 and too young to buy a firearm. Three months later, Rittenhouse used the rifle to shoot three people at a Kenosha protest. He killed two of them.

The move comes after a second straight absence from the playoffs. Zimmer went 72-56-1 in eight seasons, plus 2-3 in the playoffs. The 65-year-old Zimmer had the seventh-longest tenure among NFL head coaches this season. Spielman was with the team since 2006 and general manager since 2012.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-94274\" src=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/APmenCollegeBBpoll-300x202.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/APmenCollegeBBpoll-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/APmenCollegeBBpoll-259x175.jpg 259w, https:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/APmenCollegeBBpoll.jpg 445w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Baylor is once again the unanimous No. 1 in The Associated Press men\u2019s college basketball poll, and fifth-ranked Southern California climbed to its highest ranking in nearly five decades.<\/p>\n<p>The reigning national champion Bears earned all 61 first-place votes in the poll for the fourth time in five weeks.

He was 78. Durst was convicted of the 2000 killing of Susan Berman in September. Durst\u2019s lawyer said he died Monday in a state prison hospital facility in Stockton, California. Attorney Chip Lewis said it was from natural causes due to a number of ailments. Durst was facing trial in New York for the killing his wife, who disappeared in 1982. He was acquitted in 2003 in the death of a Texas man.<\/p>\n<p>SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to make California the first state to cover everyone under its Medicaid plan regardless of their immigration status. It\u2019s part of his effort to address what he termed five of the most populous state\u2019s \u201cbiggest challenges\u201d in a $286 billion budget proposal Monday. They include the surging coronavirus pandemic; wildfires and drought worsened by global warming; homelessness; income inequality; and public safety, including combatting a recent flurry of coordinated smash-and-grab robberies. The state already covers younger and older low income residents who are in the country illegally. Now Newsom wants state lawmakers to cover the remainder.<\/p>\n<p>NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Doctors are racing to save the lives of people who were knocked out or trapped in their apartments by a fire that sent smoke billowing through a New York City high-rise. Seventeen people, including eight children, died Sunday in the blaze in the Bronx. Dozens of people were in the hospital Monday, and as many as 13 were in critical condition. The fire is already the city\u2019s deadliest in three decades. Investigators determined that a malfunctioning electric space heater was to blame. The flames damaged only a small part of the 19-story building, but smoke poured through an open door and turned stairwells into dark, ash-choked horrors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BOSTON (AP) \u2014 The New England states are bracing for extreme cold that is already closing some schools and threatening the power grid this week. Boston, the state\u2019s largest public school district, announced Monday that schools will not open on Tuesday because of expected extremely cold temperatures. National Weather Service forecasters say the high in the city Tuesday is expected to be 12 degrees Fahrenheit, with wind chills making it feel as low as minus 8. A Maine power company is also advising customers take steps in advance of the temperature drop in that state. The state of New Hampshire said four COVID-19 testing sites overseen by the state would also be closed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>GENEVA (AP) \u2014 Russia and the U.S. remained far apart after talks aimed at defusing tensions over Ukraine, with Moscow insisting on guarantees to halt NATO\u2019s eastward expansion and even roll back the military alliance\u2019s deployments in Eastern Europe, and Washington firmly rejecting the demands as a nonstarter. With both sides dug in on their positions, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said \u201cno progress\u201d was made on the central demand to halt NATO expansion, although he insisted: \u201cWe have no intention to invade Ukraine.\u201d He spoke after 5 1\/2 hours of talks with his U.S. counterpart, Wendy Sherman. It&#8217;s part of a flurry of diplomatic activity in Europe this week over a Russian military buildup on the border with Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The coronavirus pandemic is beginning to recede as a top priority in the minds of Americans. It&#8217;s increasingly overshadowed by concerns about the economy and personal finances, particularly inflation. That potentially spells political trouble for Democrats heading into the midterm elections. A poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds just 37% of Americans say COVID-19 is a top priority for the government to work on in 2022, compared with 53% who said it was at the start of last year. Instead, 68% of Americans polled named the economy as government\u2019s top concern, while 14% mentioned inflation \u2014 including 18% of Republicans and 10% of Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 This year\u2019s tax filing season will begin on Jan. 24, 17 days earlier than last year. The Internal Revenue Service warned Monday that a resurgence of COVID-19 infections on top of less funding from Congress than the Biden administration had requested could make this filing season particularly challenging. IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig urged Americans to file electronically this year to avoid delays, and to get their refunds by direct deposit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; .TONIGHT\u2026Mostly clear.
