BISMARCK, N.D. (KFGO) – Gov. Doug Burgum announced today the statewide risk level is being adjusted from moderate/yellow risk to low/green risk, effective 8 a.m. Friday, Jan. 29. Active cases of COVID-19 in North Dakota are at their lowest level since mid-August.
A low/green risk level increases the recommended occupancy limit for bars, restaurants, and other food service establishments from 65% to 80% to allow 300 total people per establishment, with social distancing. Banquet, ballrooms, and event venues are recommended at 75% of room capacity. Face coverings should be strongly recommended or required.
“We’re grateful to all North Dakotans, including our medical, education, and business communities, for their actions that have contributed to these positive results,” Burgum said. “To continue these positive trends, we encourage North Dakotans to keep using the tools that got us here: physical distance, wear a mask when you can’t distance, get vaccinated when it’s your turn, get tested.”
