That next evening, the governor apparently took a flight on Air Force one and chatted with Trump Sr without a mask. (She had tested negative before Trump arrived at Mt Rushmore)

Did WH staff know she had close contact? Seems risky to let her close to the president even with a negative test. Or I wonder now if Trump will start taking hydroxychloroquine, just in case.
Incubation period is too short; it is generally 3 - 14 days, so even if the governor has contacted COVID-19 from Trump Jr's girlfriend, Noem is very unlikely to have been infectious.
