The COVID-19 battle is back on the rise in North Dakota, thanks to the presence of new variants which are more transmissible, according to state and local health professionals.
In February, the North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) announced the new variant strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus first detected in the United Kingdom was identified in positive specimens from two individuals in North Dakota.
âThis variant strain is thought to be more contagious which reinforces the importance of continuing to wear a mask, physical distancing, staying home when youâre sick, getting tested, and quarantining when youâve been exposed to someone who has tested positive,â said Kirby Kruger, Disease Control Director for the NDDoH, when the announcement was made. âGetting the vaccine when itâs your turn is another great way to prevent the spread of the variant strain.â

Centers for Disease Control Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky used gender-neutral terms to talk about clinical trials of the coronavirus vaccine during a press conference Friday.
Instead of referring to “pregnant women,” Walensky utilized the terms “pregnant persons” and “pregnant people” while discussing a medical study on receiving the vaccine during pregnancy.
“Clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccines did not include pregnant people, leaving us with limited data on the safety of vaccination in pregnant people and babies to date,” she said.
Since President Joe Biden took office, the administration and other branches of government have employed gender-neutral language to avoid angering or alienating transgender people. In January, the White House added gender-neutral pronouns to their website, allowing individuals to select “Mx” or “they/them.”
