On Tuesday, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare added 1,514 new cases and 16 new deaths to its statewide total. That brings the statewide total to 138,524 known cases and 1,393 deaths.

As of this morning, at least 11,729 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered.

The Department of Health and Welfare has released an estimated timeline of when Idahoans should be able to get vaccinations.

Healthcare personnel and long-term care residents began receiving vaccines this month. Essential workers such as first responders and school staff, as well as adults over the age of 75, should be able to get vaccines in February.

Adults over the age of 65 and people with medical conditions that increase risk for severe COVID cases should be able to get vaccines in April. The vaccine is expected to be available to the general public in May.
