Dallas (CNN) South Dakota Gov. "South Dakota did not do any of those (measures). We didn't mandate. Even when cases surged in her state last November, Noem refused to mandate masks and chose not to put in the precautionary measures that many other governors were taking to slow the spread of Covid-19. The state had 14,090 cases per 100,000 people, ranking South Dakota with the third highest rate in the nation.
