Idaho Governor Brad Little made an appeal Tuesday to Idaho residents to get vaccinated against the coronavirus.
His request comes during a dramatic increase in positive cases.
In an address Tuesday, Governor Little said he wanted to ensure there would be no interruptions to classes in the upcoming school year.

Reports in the Washington Post, New York Times and Albany Times Union detailed accusations that Cuomo gave family members, including his mother and his brother, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, special access to coronavirus tests. The reports said the governor dispatched a state health department doctor to their homes and used the state police to rush deliver the tests to the state’s processing lab.
CNN has already confirmed that Chris Cuomo received the tests and Cuomo did not deny the allegations, saying that people who visited him during the early days of the pandemic received testing, but he said he was not closely monitoring the program.
