On Friday, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare added 528 new cases and six new deaths to its statewide total. That brings the statewide total to 17,264 cases and 144 deaths.
Earlier this week, the state released data on the ages of people who have been hospitalized with COVID-19 since March. While the majority of the 697 cases were in patients older than 60, young Idahoans aren’t immune. Fourteen children younger than 18 have been hospitalized, as have 41 people ages 18-29.
