The COVID-19 pandemic has hit North Dakota hard. For the majority of November, the state had the worst outbreak of COVID-19 per-capita in the country. However, since precautions were put in place by Governor Doug Burgum, the state is now seeing improvement from where it was at.

In addition, the introduction of the vaccine and newer testing options as detailed in the press conference.
