Bois (Idaho Ad News) – Govern. Brad Little said they are not preparing for a new lockdown because the coronavirus is constantly spreading through Idoho.
“I do not anticipate a shutdown,” ARP said Tuesday during a telephone townhall meeting involving Idaho.
Even a little used call call to repeat the assurances of controlling the environment – where people wear masks and maintain a distance of six feet – is safer than an uncontrolled environment.
“We know that whether it’s in the classroom or in a rest restaurant rent and people are given distance, the risk of transmission is very low,” Little said.
As part of his efforts to promote personal education, Little has regularly said that schools are safe and have not contributed to broadcasting. Last week, Idaho Education News asked Little’s office fees for science and data to show that schools are not a means of transmission. Little’s press secretary said health and welfare department officials are working on providing some data.
Tuesday’s telephone town hall was the 26th smallest since it took place on March 13, when it announced the first confirmed case of Idoho’s Covid-19. It was Little’s only public appearance that week. Its calendar does not include any other public events coming up during this holiday week.
Multiple callers asked Little why he did not order a statewide mask order or closed bar and ordered restaurants to operate using only delivery or takeout.
“We’re trying to stop the spread, we’re not trying to keep anyone out of business,” Little said.
Little reiterated that it has fallen short in sending messages on the importance of taking precautions and improving behavior to slow the spread of the virus. He said it would soon come out with strong messages, targeting some, especially the youth.
“Not everyone does the right thing for me, but if I can get or0 percent, it will help.”
Still, there are tough questions in Little Field, there were moments of optimism. In honor of Thanksgiving, he thanked health care workers and said that the first, limited shipment of a vaccine could reach Idaho within about 30 days.
