COVID-19

Vaccination

We receive a number of questions each day and have assembled links to answers to many of the frequently asked questions from our community. As we receive questions, moving forward, we will continue to add to these resources:

COVID-19 Travel Quarantine Orders

Bismarck-Burleigh Public Health understands there are concerns and questions about COVID-19, a respiratory disease first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.

Classes

Bismarck-Burleigh Public Health provides a number of classes for the community. Many of these classes have no cost, but will require preregistration to ensure appropriate staffing and resource allocation from our organization. In February 2020, a pair of free Size-Wise courses that are Growing Futures Approved were provided. We have created a page with information about these, and other Maternal & Child Wellness, courses.
