An email from University of Idaho President Scott Green and Provost and Executive Vice President Torrey Lawrence plans for the revaluation of UI’s COVID-19 protocols with local COVID-19 rates on the decline.
“Gritman Medical Center saw the first decline in COVID-19 positivity rates in quite some time last week,” the email stated. “Two weeks ago, they reported 23.7% positivity. Last week was 18.3%.”
Last week, UI saw six reported cases on campus, according to the university’s COVID-19 page.
UI’s protocols will continue to be evaluated in discussion with Gritman Medical Center and Public Health – Idaho North Central District. Masks continue to be required, but the email warns those on campus to prepare for a potential shift.
