Senate Majority Leader Chuck Winder has informed the Senate that he tried to meet with the governor, but the governor’s office is very busy with coronavirus concerns right now. “We’re not getting much attention,” Winder said. Gov. Brad Little has a 5 p.m. press conference scheduled in his office regarding the first report of community spread of coronavirus in Idaho, related to a Blaine County case. The Senate has completed its calendar, Winder said, but it’s not clear if they’re about to adjourn sine die or not. “We probably need to go to a little short caucus about next steps,” he said.
Her voice breaking, Senate Minority Leader Michelle Stennett, D-Ketchum, "In my community we have doctors who are contaminated now." She urged all senators to follow guidelines and self-isolate when they return home to their communities. "Please take this seriously," she said.
The Senate then went at ease for a GOP caucus.

Gov. Brad Little is holding a press conference this morning on Idaho’s response to the coronavirus. Though no cases have yet been documented in Idaho, they are expected, said Dr. Christine Hahn, state epidemiologist. “We’re very fortunate that we don’t have what’s going on in Washington state, our neighbor, right now, Hahn said. “But we are watching it very closely. ... Our public health goal in Idaho and across the nation is to slow this virus down. We probably can’t stop it. … It’s too late to stop it.” She added, “This is a virus that none of us have immunity to.”
Primary election won't be delayed, but will go all-absentee; link to my full story
Idaho Secretary of State Lawerence Denney said this afternoon that the governor won't be delaying the May 19 primary election, but it'll go all-absentee due to the risk from coronavirus. “He is not going to delay it,” Denney told the Idaho Press. Denney said he anticipates a formal announcement probably on Wednesday. “We still have some things to iron out about exactly what we will be trying to do,” Denney said, “and I can tell you we’re going to push very, very hard for as much absentee as we can, so that we don’t have people having to be in contact with each other.”
