On Friday, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare reported 404 new cases and 11 deaths. That brings the statewide total to 164,969 known cases and 1,758 deaths.

The Eastern Idaho Public Health district lifted mandatory mask orders in Custer and Jefferson Counties. And if case numbers continue to decline, officials hope to lift mask requirements in Bonneville county on Monday.

The Pocatello City Council will vote on lifting its required mask ordinance on February 18th.

Even though some mandatory orders are being lifted, Health officials ask all residents to wear masks in public, wash their hands, and maintain social distances. The hope is to keep the COVID case numbers declining.

On Idaho Reports, we’ll look at efforts to consolidate vaccine data and get an update on this week’s legislative action.
