With COVID-19 case counts down nearly 80% from a peak of 2,298 on Dec. 9, Gov. Brad Little has announced that Idaho will move back up to stage three of his Stay Healthy order.
âWhen we moved back to stage two in November, case counts were spiking and hospitals were bracing for the worst,â said Little in a news release Tuesday. âToday, thanks to our collective good efforts, those case counts are much lower and trending downward. Idaho now has one of the lowest rates of spread in the nation.â
Little noted that COVID-19 case counts have trended downward throughout the months of December and January.
