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 and Central District Health recommend wearing a mask when in an indoor public space, regardless of vaccination status.

Levels of Community Transmission information will also be shared during the 2021-2022 school year to help schools and school administrators stay informed about COVID-19 activity in their communities so they can make decisions around the health and safety of students and staff.
