On Tuesday, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare added 1,607 new cases and 31 deaths to its statewide total. That brings the statewide total to 103,305 known cases and 960 deaths.
The state hasn’t yet released updated hospitalization numbers and ICU bed capacity, but according to the Idaho Statesman there were just 8 available ICU beds in Treasure Valley’s St. Luke’s facilities today. Some of those were reserved for patients who were coming out of surgery. Statewide, other ICUs and COVID units continue to struggle with capacity issues.
