BISMARCK, N.D. – The number of people testing positive for the coronavirus in North Dakota is nearing 1,000 as the state prepares to lift business restrictions.
The North Dakota Department of Health on Tuesday reported the number of people in the state testing positive for COVID-19 has grown to 991, up 49 from the day before. North Dakota has recorded 19 deaths – and nine in the past week – related to the coronavirus but none were reported Tuesday.
The rise in cases and deaths comes as Gov. Doug Burgum has signaled he would lift business restrictions beginning Friday, saying the state has made significant progress in its effort to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
