IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK) - Idaho officials reported on Sunday there are 585 recovered COVID-19 cases in Idaho.

The state says, "Presumed recovered 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."

There are at least 1,672 confirmed and probable COVID-19 cases in 32 of the 44 Idaho counties, according to numbers released Sunday from the local health districts and the state.

The state recently changed the way it displays and reports data and says there are 1,581 confirmed cases and 91 probable cases. See the chart below.

One more death was reported Sunday bringing the total to 45.

The state said 151 hospitalizations have been reported, and 53 cases have been admitted to the ICU.

Governor Brad Little has extended the stay-home order through April 30.

The changes that were made from the original order include:

  • Out‐of‐state travelers must self‐isolate in Idaho for 14 days after arrival. This does not apply to those performing essential services or those who live in one state and work or gain essential services in another state.
  • "Non‐essential" facilities and services may open for curbside and delivery only. Any facility or service, including those formerly deemed “non‐essential,” can begin to operate via curbside services, drive‐in, drive‐through pickup, mailing services or delivery services only.

In addition, “non‐essential” businesses may prepare to reopen after April 30 if they do the following:

  • Have operational plans in place to maintain social distancing for staff and patrons
  • Provide adequate sanitation and protective coverings for employees and patrons
  • Offer curbside and pickup delivery
  • Limit the number of people in business at a time
  • Direct flow of people in operation.

This, of course, may not occur if there is an upward trend of COVID‐19 cases between now and April 30.

This excludes indoor gyms, recreational facilities, nightclubs, bars, entertainment venues, convention centers, hair and nail salons, public events and gatherings, dine‐in restaurants (drive‐thru, carry‐out, delivery are able to continue).

As with the original stay‐home order, if a business or community member does not comply with the isolation order, Southeastern Idaho Public Health will first contact the business or community member to provide guidance, but if guidance continues to be ignored, SIPH will contact local law enforcement. If needed, law enforcement may issue a citation but would prefer to provide education and guidance instead.

In addition, law enforcement is not requiring the public to have “papers” for essential travel, checkpoints are not being setup, and law enforcement are not preventing people for entering or leaving cities for essential travel.

The purpose of the order is to fight the community spread of COVID‐19.

The order will be reevaluated on April 30.
