SD Gov. Noem attacked by Main Stream Media over Smithfield Hams (video)
|
[Townhall] South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) is one of the few governors that decided not to issue a stay-at-home order during the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. Her decision was based on the fact that her state had very few cases and she did not want to trample on South Dakotans' civil liberties.
Critics are now citing an outbreak at the Sioux Falls Smithfield Foods, which had 438 employees test positive for the virus, as a reason to issue a lockdown. Another 107 people who came into contact with the processing plant also tested positive. As of now, the state has 1,311 cases of the Wuhan coronavirus and seven deaths.
Despite that, Noem believes a statewide stay-at-home order is not the answer.
"We have one issue at a pork processing plant in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, but outside of that, two-thirds of our state has no cases or one case in an entire county," Noem explained to Fox News' Laura Ingraham. "We're doing really well as a state and addressing the one hot spot that we do have and aggressively testing in that area."
According to the governor, it is important to look at the number of infections and hospital rates when making lockdown decisions. Because South Dakota has had such few cases, businesses have been able to stay open and people can continue to work, something many starts are now grappling with.
