South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem said she will not be issuing a stay-at-home order amid the CCP virus pandemic after more than 100 more cases were confirmed in the state.

Most of the patients—768 out of the state’s 988 total cases—are in Minnehaha County, which includes the Smithfield Foods pork processing facility that was forced to shutter. More than 200 cases of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, a type of novel coronavirus, have been detected among the plant’s workers.
