South Dakota's governor threatened to take two tribes to court over coronavirus checkpoints. Here's what to know


Timber Lake, SD (CNN) A group of 17 South Dakota legislators urged the state's governor to try to reach a compromise with two tribes that have added checkpoints to help control the spread of the coronavirus . But South Dakota Gov. The Oglala Sioux and the Cheyenne River Sioux tribes set up checkpoints to regulate who comes in and goes through their reservations. At least 3,517 people in South Dakota have tested positive for the virus and at least 34 have died, according to Johns Hopkins University's tally of cases. As for South Dakota residents who don't live on the reservation, they're only allowed there if they're not coming from a hot spot and if they are there for an essential activity.
