Clarification:

A clarification from Crook County Public Health and Dr. Larsen regarding last week’s article about myth-busting during the COVID-19 crisis. Referring to the section about the governor directing citizens to avoid grocery shopping in South Dakota, Dr. Larsen says:

“The directive from the governor is meant to dissuade people from making unnecessary trips into and outside of our local area to help curb the spread of the virus.  People are allowed to make trips that are necessary such as work, medical care, food/animal feed and child custody exchanges.  As much as possible, people are encouraged to shop local and use local resources for their immediate needs.”
