North Dakota ranked lowest among all states for test positivity last week, according to the state report distributed by the White House. Here’s a look at how North Dakota is comparing to the rest of the nation:

We’re grateful to all North Dakotans, including our medical, education and business communities, for their actions that have contributed to these positive results. We continue to use a data-driven approach to navigate this pandemic, and all data indicates North Dakota is heading in the right direction. 

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 and, if positive, seek out monoclonal antibody treatments, which can dramatically reduce hospitalization and mortality rates if administered at the right time to eligible patients.

With Gratitude,

Doug Burgum

Governor
