Idaho COVID-19 case numbers remain lower, despite hot spots in eastern part of state Nicole Foy and Rachel Roberts, The Idaho Statesman
Mar. 13 Idaho s state health department reported just 333 new confirmed and probable coronavirus cases Friday, continuing a week of relatively stable numbers.
The Treasure Valley s case numbers remained better, too, with Ada County reporting just 71 new cases (47,686 total) and Canyon County only 31 (25,006 total).
Some counties in East Idaho still bear watching, given their population. In a Friday afternoon tweet, Health and Welfare identified three such counties as the state s hot spots, with 89 new cases in Bonneville (12,971 total), 24 in Madison (6,551 total) and 11 in Jefferson (2,581 total) on Friday. They were pegged by Health and Welfare because of high infection rates, with 7-day moving average incidence rates of 64.8, 43.3 and 40.7 per 100,000 people, respectively.

BOISE â 30 eligible residents, staff and volunteers of Boiseâs Good Samaritan Home received the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine today as part of a Saint Alphonsus outreach to those who face challenges receiving or scheduling a COVID-19 vaccination.
This is the first time the Saint Alphonsus mobile unit has delivered vaccines to a community off-site according to Jennifer Palagi, DNP, MPH, Saint Alphonsus Vice President of Community Health and Well-being.Â
