Idahoâs health districts and the Department of Health and Welfare reported just 233 new confirmed coronavirus cases Friday, continuing a weeks-long decline. With 111 new probable cases, the combined total came in at 344.
Hospitalizations of people with COVID-19 are markedly lower than numbers from the past few months, January included, when Idahoâs recovery took hold. Approximately 180 people were hospitalized across the state with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 on Wednesday, the most recent day that data was available from the Department of Health and Welfare. About 45 of those patients were in ICU units the same day, according to the state health departmentâs website.

NJ College & University Presidents: Believe & Trust in the Science As New Jersey’s college and university presidents of color, we share a duty to be advocates for knowledge, truth, equity and humanity. We have come together collectively to encourage our fellow members of Black and brown communities to receive a COVID-19 vaccine when it becomes available. We believe and trust the science. We ask that you do too.” Top NJ College & University Presidents urge people of color to get vaccinated.
The data shows that the two approved vaccines are greater than 94 percent effective with minimal known side effects. We urge our communities of color, who already struggle with many underlying health conditions that put us at a much higher risk for COVID-19, to listen, understand and act on the science showing that these vaccines are safe.
