The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare is reporting 33 COVID-19 related deaths.

Statewide, the number of total positive cases of COVID-19 is up to 1,453. That’s 14 more since Sunday.

The state is not tracking how many people recover from COVID-19; however, officials say the novel coronavirus has a very high recovery rate. Idaho’s public health districts are beginning to report some of those initially infected have now been released from isolation and are no longer considered a danger to the public.

Eastern Idaho public health districts are reporting 43 people have tested positive for the virus in the area.

The number of COVID-19 tests available in Idaho continues to grow daily. But public health officials continue to warn that due to initial testing limitations, the actual number of coronavirus cases may be much higher than is being reported.
