On Wednesday, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare added 2,298 new cases and 29 new deaths to its statewide total. Today’s case count once again breaks the record for the most cases added in a single day, and is the second day in a row over 2,000 cases. That puts the statewide total at 116,203 cases and 1,103 deaths

The Gem County Coroner has borrowed a refrigerated support trailer from Ada County to handle an overflow of bodies. Gem County usually averages 190 to 205 deaths a year, but has had over 240 already. Only a few deaths are COVID related, but the coroner’s office is concerned about the future, had run out of space and needed additional storage.

Governor Brad Little will hold a press conference tomorrow at 12 pm Mountain Time, 11 am Pacific Time. You can watch it on Idaho Public Television or stream it online.
