MGN

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - Idaho officials reported 153 new COVID-19 cases and 0 new deaths Wednesday.

That brings the total confirmed and probable cases reported since March 2020 to 194,520.

There are a total of 155,710 confirmed cases and 38,810 probable cases in all 44 of the 44 counties in Idaho, according to numbers released from the local health districts and the state. See the chart below.

Just over half of Idaho adults have now received at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine — about two months after the 50% mark was reached nationwide.

Idaho Public Health Administrator Elke Shaw-Tulloch said during a press conference Tuesday the state is unlikely to meet the national goal of at least 70% of adults with at least one vaccine dose by July 4.

Still, she said the state continues to make slow gains in vaccination rates.

The state said 710,282 people have received the vaccine, and 1,308,843 total doses have been administered. 647,711 people are fully vaccinated.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says Idaho has the eighth lowest adult partial COVID-19 vaccination rate in the U.S.

Southeastern Idaho Public Health has 6 new confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 in southeast Idaho. This brings the total of confirmed and probable cases to 17,253. Out of those cases, 17,218 have recovered from COVID-19. There are 230 deaths in the health district. You can view more HERE.
