Out of the 49 counties with positive cases of COVID-19 in North Dakota, Burleigh and Cass lead the state for highest number of positive COVID-19 cases, with Burleigh totaling 13,695 and Cass county with 19,969.[1][2] In October 2020, North Dakota had the highest rate of COVID-19 cases of any U.S. state or nation in the world, although this had been attributed in part to extensive testing.[3]
North Dakota had early success in 2021 administering COVID-19 shots,[4][5] but as of September 4, North Dakota ranked 45th among the 50 U.S. states in the proportion of fully vaccinated residents.[6]
