SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota health officials have record one more COVID-19 death and 95 new confirmed coronavirus cases.
The new figures bring the state’s death toll to 44 and its confirmed case count to 3,887.
Health officials have warned the the actual number of infections is higher because many people may not display symptoms or have not sought testing for mild symptoms.
The state's most populated area, Minnehaha County, has seen about 80% of confirmed cases. But cities like Aberdeen and Rapid City experienced a rise in cases this week.
Two Native American tribes also reported a handful of cases, prompting strict lock downs.
