It has been endorsed by several other entities, including Portneuf Health Partners, Pocatello-Chubbuck School District #25, the City of Pocatello, Pocatello Chamber of Commerce, and Idaho State University.
The strategies include social distancing, wearing a face mask, hand washing, covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, and stay at home when sick.
