“Idaho’s Brad Little, Washington’s Jay Inslee say it’s not the right time to advance their states to the next phase, with COVID-19 cases on the rise”
Can you say “flatten the curve”? Not any more. It’s “zero out the curve” now.
Progress in reopening Idaho and Washington will likely be delayed for another few weeks, as both states experience a rise in the number of COVID-19 cases.
Idaho Gov. Brad Little announced Thursday that the Gem State has not met the health criteria for moving out of Stage 4 of its four-phase reopening plan.
“We will remain in Stage 4 for at least another two weeks,” he said during a morning news conference. “We want our students back in school at the end of the summer. We want our economy to rebound as quickly as possible. Our personal actions are the single most important thing we can do to make this happen.”
