Gov. Brad Little's office announced on July 27 that the governor does not have any plans to issue new guidance around mask use as the state's positivity rate increases. However, Little plans to closely monitor hospitalizations and case rates.

Marrisa Morrison-Hyer, the press secretary for the state of Idaho, issued the following statement on safety guidance:

Governor Little continues to urge Idahoans to consider CDC guidance on the use of masks and continues to encourage Idahoans to choose to receive the vaccine to protect lives and the economy.

A major breakthrough in the vaccine rollout was announced on August 23, 2021, when the FDA announced its full approval of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. The Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines have not yet received full FDA approval, but are still approved for emergency use.

Definitions of key words used to track COVID-19 data

• "Recoveries" are tracked by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. The state says it "Is defined as the number of persons with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis who are alive 30 days post-onset (or referral date if onset is not available) based upon total cases, deaths, and any clinical info available."

• "Confirmed" cases refer to a person who was tested for COVID-19 and tested positive.

• "Probable" cases refer to a person who is exhibiting symptoms after coming in contact with a person who has a confirmed case. Though a probable case is not confirmed, the state will monitor the person for symptoms.

• "Total cases" refers to the number of confirmed and probable cases combined. We will always clarify how many of the total cases are confirmed and how many are probable in our daily updates.

• "Breakthrough cases" refer to the number of lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases identified in a fully vaccinated individual.
