The Eastern Idaho Board of Health convened a special meeting on January 25th, to discuss the confusion surrounding Governor Little’s recent Order, allowing increased participation at high school activities, and how conflicts with Eastern Idaho Public Health’s orders.
In situations where there are conflicting orders, the order that is the most restrictive takes precedence and, in this case, that would be Eastern Idaho Public Health’s order.
Governor Little also still has restrictions in place for ten or fewer people allowed to gather for all other activities. That order is more restrictive than Eastern Idaho’s order, so the Governor’s Order would take priority.
In order to head off confusion between these orders, the Board of Health has deleted information on event gathering size in its orders.
These amendments do not affect the wearing of face coverings in public when not able to maintain six feet of physical distance.
Vaccine administration is continuing to progress in the Eastern Idaho health district, currently completing distribution to Priority Group 2.1, which is frontline essential workers including first responders, school staff and teachers, childcare provers, and correctional and detention facility staff.
