Detection of COVID-19 community spread in Canyon County

Posted on March 28, 2020

 

The Southwest District Health has confirmed Friday detection of community spread in Canyon County.

Community transmission (or community spread) is when health officials can’t find a specific origin for an infection, for an example: traveling from a known area to have the virus.

As of 7 p.m. Thursday District 3 has confirmed 22 cases in Canyon County. The first Canyon County COVID-19 case was announced last Friday (March 20).

The SWDH asks people to follow these guidelines:

  • Keep six feet between yourself and everyone else at all times.
  • Engage in work, schooling, and social interaction from home via technology.
  • Avoid interacting with anyone outside your household unless you can keep at least six feet of space between you.
  • Use drive-thru, pickup or delivery options as much as possible when getting food.
  • Avoid all non-essential travel.
  • Reschedule all social activities to take place via phone, video chats, or social media.
