On Monday, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare reported 482 new cases and 10 new deaths. That brings the statewide total to 163,165 known cases and 1,735 deaths.
Monday was the first day Idahoans ages 65 and older could get vaccinated, and already health districts across the state reported an overwhelming response with appointments filled almost immediately in some cities. Health districts are asking people to stay patient and keep watching for future appointments to open.
Governor Brad Little will make an announcement regarding COVID-19 on Tuesday at 10 am MT, 9 am PT. We’ll have coverage here tomorrow and on the Idaho Reports social media pages.
