The Idaho Statesman reports that Central District Health is nearly two weeks behind in its case data tracking. While the Department of Health and Welfare data dashboard shows Ada County’s seven-day incident rate at around 30 cases per 100,000 people, Central District Health told the Statesman that due to the backlog, the true rate is likely around 85 to 90 — one of the highest in the state.
