CDH recommends precautions as Idaho Covid numbers rise
BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — Central District Health is that people take precautions as the Covid levels continue to rise.
The area CDH covers Ada, Boise, Elmore and Valley counties, and it has recently hit high/orange community levels of COVID-19. While Boise is not changing its protocols at the moment, the CDH still recommends that people take precautions against the virus.
These precautions include following CDC guidelines on wearing masks in public, getting tested and getting vaccinated as early as possible.
“We encourage the use of at-home testing to screen yourself before you participate in community activities and gatherings,” says Heidi Hopkins, communicable disease control program manager at CDH. “We would also remind people that the COVID-19 vaccine is now available for anyone 6 months and older, and community members are encouraged to seek testing and early treatment if they present with COVID symptoms.”
