Governor Noem Statement Regarding Coronavirus in South Dakota

PIERRE, S.D. – Governor Kristi Noem today issued the following statement regarding COVID-19:

“The state’s Public Health Laboratory in Pierre has confirmed the first presumptive positive cases of coronavirus in South Dakota,” said Noem. “The cases are travel related. While we wait for the CDC to conduct their confirmatory testing, the Department of Health staff is working to identify additional people who came in close contact with these individuals to decrease the spread of illness.”

“Our team has been preparing for weeks, and I am confident we have the right people in place to address this fluid situation. Without panicking, I encourage all South Dakotans to take this seriously – now is the time to prepare and to stay informed.”

    1. I think the Wuhan virus is an actual health threat. I also think the press is trying to use it politically against Trump. Both can be true at the same time.

  1. So you dont think it was irresponsible for Trump to call the situation a hoax on Feb 28th?

  2. If the President called it a hoax, why would a Washington Post reporter apologize for a tweet saying he called it a hoax?

    Do you have he character to apologize too? Or do you value lying about the President during a national public health emergency to serve you political agenda.

    The President actually was talking about liars like you-people who would intentionally deceive for political gain and were willing to do it during a national emergency.
