South Dakota health officials expressed little alarm about the case and others confirmed among rally attendees at a Thursday news conference. ADThe event’s true impact may be impossible to track, said Benjamin Aaker, president of the South Dakota State Medical Association. The person at One-Eyed Jacks, Aaker said, is “someone whom state health officials would be wise to be watching and trying to contact-trace." “It could be one or two, could be more,” Steele said of coronavirus cases linked to the event. South Dakota has not mandated mask-wearing among students, and many of the biggest school districts have not made it a policy.
