noem ruled out a state mandate on the wearing of face masks in public spaces. noem disputed studies that had determined face masks to be an effective means of reducing spread of viral particles, arguing that the research was "very mixed" and that "science has not proven what's effective and what isn't and what type of mask. we have to stay objective when we look at it". noem claimed that studies recommending the use of masks did not use "reliable data sets", and that asymptomatic spread was rare. noem declined to participate in a federal scheme providing enhanced unemployment benefits, citing a low level of unemployment in the state. in late-august, noem stated that she would not change her guidance on masks, despite an intensifying surge in new cases. on september 8, despite the continued surge, noem announced plans to spend $5 million of relief money on an advertising campaign for state tourism. this included an $819,000 buy on fox news. during a special session of the south dakota legislature on october 5, noem stated that a "very prominent national reporter" had praised her for " against" lockdowns and proving they were "useless". on october 7, trump posted a clip of the session on twitter captioned "great job south dakota!"; noem replied, thanking trump for giving her government "the flexibility to respect freedom and personal responsibility", and arguing that they made decisions "based on science, facts, and data". this praise came despite south dakota having recently set new records for active cases and hospitalizations. on december 7, 2020, noem published an op-ed in the wall street journal, which defended and addressed criticism of her approach by comparing south dakota to larger states with stricter mitigation measures. she argued that illinois presently had a higher number of new cases per-capita than south dakota had at any point during the pandemic, and had reported a record 238 new deaths on december 2 (the result of backlogged reports from over the thanksgiving holiday), despite their use of "harsh lockdowns" and mask mandates. she also stated that despite having mandated masks in june, new jersey "still has had the most deaths in the country per capita", and that "over the last two weeks of november, its hospitalizations increased by 34 percent, a six-month high". aaron blake of the washington post questioned the validity of some of the statistics noem quoted, noting that south dakota's mortality rate per-capita on the specified date was "more than twice" that of illinois, and that illinois's seven-day average per-capita at the time of writing (79 per-100,000) was lower than south dakota's peak (165). in regards to new jersey, blake noted that the state had the highest mortality rate per-capita overall, but that the majority of these deaths took place in the early stage of the pandemic prior to the mask mandate. in addition, he pointed out that while new jersey did have a recent spike in hospitalizations, south dakota had multiple two-week spikes in hospitalizations over the past few months that were higher than 34%, and presently had the second-highest number of hospitalizations per-capita nationwide, 58 (behind only nevada), as opposed to 38 in new jersey, and 28 in california (another state singled out in the op-ed). on april 21, 2021, governor noem issued an executive order banning government entities from issuing "vaccine passports", arguing that they are "un-american" and used to justify the discrimination of citizens who are not yet vaccinated. local responses noem has faced criticism from residents, as well as other city and county leaders, for her lack of state-wide actions to control local spread of covid-19. the resistance forced municipalities to implement their own ordinances to enforce social distancing, including sioux falls—which enacted a "no lingering" ordinance on march 26 to restrict all non-essential businesses to only serving a maximum of 10 customers at a time. mayor of sioux falls paul tenhaken introduced a proposal for a municipal stay-at-home order on april 14, but it was rejected by city council. on may 8, the "no lingering" ordinance was eased ("no mingling") to allow restaurants to expand to capacity (subject to six-foot social distancing between patrons), and fitness, entertainment, and recreation facilities to expand to half of their licensed capacity, or 10, whichever is greater. on may 19, tenhaken tabled a proposal to sunset the ordinance, citing a slowing in new cases in the city since the new ordinance was implemented. city health director jill franken also reported that the number of hospitalizations in the area was lower than projected. on may 26, sioux falls city council voted in favor, with the ordinance officially repealed on may 29. medical responses to the pandemic have largely been coordinated by south dakota's avera health, monument health, and sanford health systems, including testing, vaccination, and public awareness. on september 8, the city of brookings became the first in the state to mandate the wearing of face masks in public spaces. the mandate has been credited with lowering the rate of new cases in brookings county; by late-november, it had the lowest number of cases per-100,000 among south dakota's 10 most populous counties, at 74. tribal responses the cheyenne river and pine ridge sioux reservations have established highway checkpoints to regulate access to their territory. on may 8, governor noem sent letters to the two tribes' leaders, declaring the checkpoints illegal for "interfering with or regulating traffic on us and state highways" without permission, and threatening a federal lawsuit if not removed. the oglala and cheyenne river sioux tribes maintained their checkpoints due to safety concerns. on may 12, noem sent a second letter to the leader of the cheyenne river reservation, clarifying that it was within their rights of tribal sovereignty to establish checkpoints on roads leading into their reservation (rather than the highway itself) to help protect their populations, as long as they provide "reasonable access" for essential goods, emergency services, and access to private property situated on the land. on may 20, after the tribes continued the checkpoints, noem sought assistance from the federal government in resolving the dispute. on june 24, the cheyenne river sioux filed a lawsuit against the federal government. the indian health service has worked with local tribes on vaccine distribution. universities and colleges on august 25, it was reported that the university of south dakota had 61 active covid-19 cases, and 300 students self-quarantining. since august 26, the south dakota department of health has released case numbers for universities on a weekly basis, including data for individual schools. statistics covid-19 cases in south dakota, united states () deaths recoveries active
