PIERRE, S.D. (DRG News) – South Dakota being last in the nation typically isn’t a good thing, but in the case of COVID-19, it is.

Gov. Kristi Noem says the state was the last one to register over 100 positive cases of the virus.

She says there are currently a good supply of medical materials in the state.

Noem says they’re also working with tribes and under served areas of the state for testing potential positive cases. She encouraged all clinics in South Dakota to stay open.

The state Department of Health provides updated information daily, including the current number of positive cases of coronavirus and how many people have recovered, at COVID.SD.GOV.
