AdvertisementBy New York Daily NewsNov 14, 2020 at 4:30 pmNorth Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum on Friday issued a statewide mask mandate, a reversal for a Republican who has resisted the measure but whose state remains in the crucible of one of the country’s deadliest coronavirus outbreaks.The order, which took effect on Saturday, requires North Dakotans to cover their faces in stores and in outdoor spaces where distancing is impossible, Burgum said.AdvertisementAs our COVID-19 situation changes, we must change with it. Tonight, we announced four measures designed to reduce the rampant spread of infections in our communities, protect our vulnerable, ensure hospital capacity and keep schools &amp; the economy open. — Gov. Doug Burgum (@DougBurgum)No state in the U.S. has logged a higher rate of COVID-19 deaths per capita than North Dakota over the past week, to The Washington Post. And hospitals in the lightly populated northern state have filled up to their limit.“Right now, the data demands a higher level of mitigation efforts to reverse these dangerous trends, to slow the spread of this virus and to avoid the need for economic shutdowns,” Burgum, 64, said in a brief speech posted to social media.AdvertisementDr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, lamented woeful levels of mask use in North Dakota during a visit last month to Bismarck, the state capital.“Over the last 24 hours as we were here and we were in your grocery stores and in your restaurants and frankly even in your hotels, this is the least use of masks that we have seen in retail establishments of any place we have been,” Birx reporters on Oct. 26, according to The Bismarck Tribune. “And we find that deeply unfortunate.”North Dakota’s overall COVID-19 death toll has climbed above 700, to health authorities.
