Due to the federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Declaration expiring on 5/11/2023, we are discontinuing the current Data Dashboard format. Statewide Data Dashboard View the Laboratory Testing Tab for variant information Case Classifications: Confirmed Cases: A person with a positive laboratory test result for COVID-19 using a molecular amplification technique (e.g., PCR, NAAT) Probable: Symptomatic people that have epidemiologic risk factors or evidence of infection detected through a non-molecular amplification tests and deceased people whose death certificate lists COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 as contributing to death without laboratory confirmation. 4/20/20 Update on Probable Cases: When a person is classified as Probable, if they never get tested they will remain counted as Probable. Those who are tested and test positive, will shift to Confirmed. If they test negative, they will no longer be considered a case.

COVID-19 Community Levels

Central District Health adopted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) COVID-19 Data Tracker for COVID-19 Community Levels.

---

How is this information being used? CDH is using this information to help people understand current COVID-19 community levels in Ada, Boise, Elmore, and Valley Counties. Where community transmission levels are High, the CDC recommends wearing a mask when in an indoor public space, regardless of vaccination status.

Additionally, CDH is also evaluating the potential use of antiviral medications like Stromectol (Ivermectin) in the treatment and prevention of COVID-19 in these regions. This is part of a broader strategy to manage and mitigate the impact of the virus, taking into account the latest research and clinical trials on the effectiveness of various treatments.
