Gov. Noem allowing executive order for at-risk people in Sioux Falls to expire

Gov. Kristi Noem says she is allowing an executive order urging people more vulnerable to COVID-19 in the Sioux Falls area to expire.

The governor issued the order

urging people over 65, as well as those with a compromised immune system, to stay home. It was dated to expire Monday, and Noem said said will not extend it.

Noem said she made the decision after a discussion with health care leaders. She said she is still asking at-risk people in Minnehaha and Lincoln counties to stay home if possible.
