The state of North Dakota is launching a new app to help slow the spread of Covid-19. The app — dubbed Care19 — will help identify individuals who might have had contact with people testing positive for the virus, Gov. Doug Burgum said.

This New York county is running out of morgue space. It'll use a farm's refrigerator to store bodies.There have been so many coronavirus deaths in a short amount of time in Suffolk County, New York, that the county’s morgue and overflow morgues are nearing capacity.

“At the early stages of this crisis, we were having conversations about suggestions of using ice rinks and stores with refrigeration to store bodies,” Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone said in a statement to CNN. “I made the decision that I was not going to tell families that we need to convert their children’s ice-skating rinks and turn them into morgues because that is not who we are.”
