Mask order lifted in 2 eastern Idaho counties as COVID-19 cases drop - East Idaho News

IDAHO FALLS — The Eastern Idaho Public Health District Board of Health met Thursday and determined that Fremont and Lemhi counties have met the metric to return to the Minimal Risk Level of the COVID-19 Regional Response Plan.

The metric was met by having its active case rate below the threshold of 15/10,000 population for the most recent 14-day period.

Although the Public Health Order for face coverings was rescinded, this does not alleviate the need to make the choices necessary to slow the spread of the virus in our communities as the virus is still circulating and posing a risk for illness, hospitalization, and death.
