SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Gov. Kristi Noem says South Dakota may be as much as eight weeks away from the peak of COVID-19 and needs to continue limiting business activity even as President Donald Trump considers relaxing national guidance. The Republican governor says she’ll continue to support restrictions on businesses and social gatherings. Noem expects infections to increase and is bracing the state’s health care system for a surge of patients. The governor also said schools will remain closed until May 1. Meanwhile, nine women fled the Women’s Prison in Pierre after an inmate tested postive for the virus. One of the escapees has been caught.
