We now have the first Covid-19 death traced back to the Sturgis rally reported<\/a>:<\/div>\n

A Minnesota biker who attended the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally has died of covid-19 \u2014 the first fatality from the virus traced to the 10-day event that drew more than 400,000 to South Dakota.<\/p>\n

The man was in his 60s, had underlying conditions and was hospitalized in intensive care after returning from the rally, said Kris Ehresmann, infectious-disease director at the Minnesota Department of Health. The case is among at least 260 cases in 11 states tied directly to the event, according to a survey of health departments by The Washington Post.<\/p>\n

Epidemiologists believe that figure is a significant undercount, due to the resistance of some rallygoers to testing and the limited contact tracing in some states. As a result, the true scope of infections stemming from the rally that ran from Aug. 7 to Aug. 16 is unlikely to ever be known. Public health officials had long expressed concern <\/a>over the decision to move forward with the annual event, believed to be the largest held anywhere in the U.S. since the pandemic shelved most large-scale gatherings.<\/p>\n

Now, just over two weeks after the conclusion of the rally, the Midwest and the Dakotas in particular are seeing a spike in coronavirus<\/a> cases even as infections decline or plateau in the rest of the country. South Dakota\u2019s seven-day averages for new cases stood at 347 on Sept. 2 compared to 107 two weeks earlier and its total caseload was 14,003, up from 10,566, according to The Post\u2019s tracking. In North Dakota, the seven-day averages for new cases was 257, up from 142 two weeks earlier and its total caseload was 12,267, compared to 8,968.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
