SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota officials say one more person has tested positive for COVID-19, bringing the state’s total to 11. The new case is in Minnehaha County, and it is a woman in her 50s. Officials report that all the positive cases have come from people who traveled outside the state and there’s no evidence of it spreading in communities. Sioux Falls Mayor Paul TenHaken says the city is not mandating any bar or restaurant shutdowns, but encouraging businesses to follow guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to limit gatherings to 10 or fewer people.

Governor Noem also announced today that schools in the state will be closed for an additional week through March 27th.  Mitchell Schools Superintendent Dr. Joe Graves says e-learning will continue.  He says the free meals program will also continue.
