Working together, we& #39;ve taken targeted action to slow the spread of COVID-19 in North Dakota so we can avoid having to use a Tier 3 minimum care facility like the Fargodome, where we have pre-positioned beds. (1/4)

We don’t expect to need these Tier 3 facilities at the Fargodome and University of Mary Fieldhouse in Bismarck, but it& #39;s our responsibility to protect the health & safety of our citizens and prepare for the worst-case scenario. (2/4)

We continue to fine-tune our hospital surge plan with our health care providers and partners. We& #39;re confident we will have the capacity we need should a surge of positive cases occur in ND. As of today less than 1% of our hospital beds are being used for COVID-19 patients. (3/4)

Our positive case rate remains the 2nd-lowest in the nation at 3% (308 positive/10,350 total tests), and our per-capita testing rate ranks 9th among states.

Together, we can continue to #SlowTheSpread and save lives. Be #NDSmart: stay home, stay healthy, stay connected. (4/4)
