In the last 24 hours, the number of coronavirus tests circulating through both public and private labs has leapt by 25 percent.

On Tuesday morning, the state of Idaho reported 350 tests that had been swabbed, performed and analyzed. On Wednesday morning, that number is now 468. Of those, nine of tested positive. Two required hospitalization.

“This is a very challenging and uncertain time,” Governor Brad Little said in a Wednesday morning press conference. “But I want to ensure Idahoans we’re working around the clock to expand access to testing and ensure we can handle the many, many aspects of our lives that are impacted by this situation.”

The Governor said Idaho is following White House and Centers for Disease Control guidelines by encouraging people from now to the end of March to refrain from visiting nursing homes and long-term health care facilities (unless to provide critical assistance), avoid discretionary travel, avoid social gatherings, practice good hygiene and take advantage of drive-through restaurant services.
