During her briefing Monday, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem informed the public  that the number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus has reached 28. Governor Noem says they believe there is community spread within Beadle County, which now holds the most of any other county at 12 cases.

The cases reported were all tied to travel or from someone who already tested positive, according to Noem's statement.

Governor Noem said this is not something that is going to be over in a week or two. From all the studies May should be the peak. This trend will continue through August.
