On Monday, Gov. Brad Little announced that Idaho is rolling back to Stage 3, after multiple hospitals around the state are at or near capacity because of an increase in COVID-19 cases.
Indoor gatherings are limited to 50 people, and outdoor gatherings are limited to 25 percent of a venue’s capacity. Bars can remain open, but all customers must be seated. Stage 3 does not affect churches or schools, and there is no associated mask order.
