On a daily basis, Idaho public health officials release a new set of COVID-19 data: vaccinations, new cases, 7-day averages, and much more. And officials in the City of Boise pore over those numbers as much as anyone.
“What we’re looking at is being able to progress through the summer,” said Boise Mayor Lauren McLean. When asked about the possibility that, if COVID data improves, the city might begin planning a 4
th of July celebration in a couple of months, the mayor added that it’s all about everyone “doing the right thing.”
“We are looking at what we can do,” said McLean. “ We’ve got a whole bunch of fireworks that we had to store last year; and we hope to have good news soon.”
