                <media:description>A pedestrian wearing protective gloves passes in front of an empty bus stop outside the closed Smithfield Foods Inc. plant in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, U.S., on Wednesday, April 15, 2020. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has argued that it would be pointless to enact a significant stay-at-home order, because it would need to be maintained until October. On Wednesday, South Dakota surpassed 1,000 confirmed Covid-19 cases.</media:description>
