COVID-19 Update: Wed, Feb 10
On Wednesday, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare reported 458 new cases and 11 new deaths. That puts the statewide total at 166,553 known cases and 1,791 deaths.
The COVID-19 test positivity rate dropped to about 7 percent by the end of January. That’s about what the rate was in the middle of last September, after a high of 19.1 percent positive last November.
Because of the declining numbers and more teachers being vaccinated, a number of Idaho school districts are returning to in-person learning.
The West Ada School District could return students grades 6 to 12 almost full time on March 30th. The Pocatello-Chubbuck School District will return all of its students to class on March 1st. Boise, Idaho Falls and Bonneville school districts are also considering their own re-opening dates.
