Idaho’s fall COVID-19 surge continued its relentless spread across the state Friday with another record for new confirmed cases and hospitalizations.
Idaho’s seven health districts added 1,331 new confirmed cases — the fourth time in eight days the daily county has topped 1,100, setting a record each time. With 249 new probable cases reported by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, the total for new cases was 1,580, the second-most during the pandemic.
Idaho’s confirmed and probable case total has surpassed 1,000 on 10 of the past 11 days, with the only exception a Sunday when reported is less robust. The state’s seven-day average for new cases is a record 1,263.3.
Five counties recorded at least 100 new confirmed cases: Ada (219 new, 18,139 total), Canyon (200 new, 11,122 total), Latah (120 new, 1,282 total), Nez Perce (113 new, 1,471 total) and Kootenai (118 new, 5,227 total).
Health and Welfare’s latest hospitalization data show the state hit more records Wednesday: 395 hospitalized COVID-19 patients, including 96 in intensive care. The hospitalization number has spiked from 320 to 395 in a week — a 23% increase.
