No other state in the country is putting up more money in direct cash support for small businesses.



Cash grants of up to $10,000 will be directly deposited into the bank accounts for eligible businesses. More than 30,000 businesses could benefit.



The Governor's Coronavirus Financial Advisory Committee finalized the eligibility criteria and related details.



Applications will be handled in two waves:

  *   Eligible entities with one to 50 employees may apply starting at noon MDT on May 18 through noon MDT on May 22



All applicants must first establish a secure Taxpayer Access Point (TAP) account if they do not already have one, in order to protect their personal and business information on submitted applications.



All eligibility criteria, information on how to apply along with instructions on how to gain a TAP account are available at https://rebound.idaho.gov/idaho-rebound-cash-grants-for-small-businesses/



Recipients of the grants will be shared at Transparent.Idaho.Gov<https://transparent.idaho.gov/transparentidaho/Pages/home.aspx> when information is available.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 30, 2020



Gov. Little plans to distribute $300 million in cash grants to small businesses as state enters Stage 1 of reopening



Boise, Idaho - Governor Brad Little announced plans today for more than 30,000 Idaho small businesses to receive Idaho Rebound cash grants, a $300 million investment in Idaho's small business employers.



"No other state in the country is putting up a larger amount from the Coronavirus Relief Fund to help small businesses with cash support," Governor Little said. "Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. My Economic Rebound Advisory Committee, which I created last week, recommended this step to ensure a path back to prosperity and restore the trajectory we had 70 days ago."



News of the cash grants comes as Governor Little announced Idaho has met the criteria to enter Stage 1 of the reopening plan on May 1.



Cash grants of up to $10,000 will be available to small businesses. Businesses will be eligible if they have not already received an SBA-backed Payroll Protection loan or received less than $10,000 in such a loan.



The Governor's Coronavirus Financial Advisory Committee (CFAC) will finalize full program sideboards at its meeting Friday to ensure the money is carefully targeted to impacted small businesses. The criteria and process to apply will be made available at Rebound.Idaho.Gov<https://rebound.idaho.gov/idaho-rebound-cash-grants-for-small-businesses/> on May 5 at 9 a.m. MDT. Applications will be accepted starting May 11.



The Idaho State Tax Commission will facilitate the applications. To apply, small businesses must create a Taxpayer Access Point (TAP) account through the Tax Commission if they do not already have one. Small businesses are encouraged to create a TAP account as soon as possible. Information on creating such an account is available here: https://rebound.idaho.gov/idaho-rebound-cash-grants-for-small-businesses/



"I understand the need for transparency around spending public money, and that is why all recipients of the Idaho Rebound cash grants will be displayed at Transparent.Idaho.Gov<https://transparent.idaho.gov/transparentidaho/Pages/home.aspx>," Governor Little said. "I sincerely appreciate the collaboration we have had with State Controller Brandon Woolf in making this information publicly available. He is truly a champion of transparency in government."



Idaho enters Stage 1 of reopening



Governor Little also replaced the previous statewide stay-home order with his new "Stay Healthy Order" for Stage 1. The order follows the guidance of the President and CDC and was developed in close and constant consultation with the state epidemiologists. It will be available at Coronavirus.Idaho.Gov<https://coronavirus.idaho.gov/>.



Stage 1 means 90-percent of businesses can open their doors on May 1. To ensure consumer and employee confidence, businesses must follow protocols<https://rebound.idaho.gov/stage-1-protocols-for-opening/> to ensure physical distancing, sanitation, and other measures are followed in Stage 1.



In Stage 1:



  *   Places of worship, daycares, and organized youth activities and day camps can reopen as long as they follow protocols<https://rebound.idaho.gov/stage-1-protocols-for-opening/>.



  *   The 14-day self-quarantine for people entering the state will continue, to prevent an influx of out-of-state visitors who could be carrying the virus into Idaho.



  *   Vulnerable Idahoans should continue to stay at home if they can.



  *   Employees are encouraged to continue teleworking, and employers should return employees to work in phases.



  *   Gatherings of any size, both public and private, should be avoided.



  *   Non-essential travel should be minimized or avoided.



  *   Dine-in at restaurants must remain closed, but pick-up and delivery options will still available. In the next two weeks, restaurant operators should develop plans to open for dine-in on May 16 during Stage 2. Protocols will be available at Rebound.Idaho.Gov<https://rebound.idaho.gov/> before close of business today.



  *   Indoor gyms, recreation facilities, and close contact services such as massage, hair and nail salons remain closed but can make plans to reopen on May 16 in Stage 2 if they follow protocols.



  *   Visits to senior living facilities and congregate facilities such as jails and prisons are prohibited.



  *   Bars, nightclubs, and large venues must remain closed.



If Idaho meets criteria to progress to the next stage over the next two weeks, then Stage 2 will begin May 16. Details are at Rebound.Idaho.Gov<https://rebound.idaho.gov/stages-of-reopening/>.



"I want to reiterate that we can only progress through the stages if we demonstrate a downward decline in severe cases and meet other criteria," Governor Little added. "It is imperative that individuals take personal responsibility by limiting their exposure to others and maintaining good hygiene."



Meanwhile, Idaho is focused on expanding and targeting access to testing, improving contact tracing for all COVID-positive cases, and working to ensure healthcare system capacity. In addition, Idaho continues to hone plans and strategies for preparedness and long-term care facilities.

Idaho partners with Battelle to decontaminate N95 masks at no cost



BOISE, Idaho - Governor Brad Little announced today that Battelle<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.battelle.org%2Fdecon&data=02%7C01%7Clkent%40haponline.org%7Cff360b31c5e5468e4e6508d7e5e431b7%7C1692ff9ee33d47179da03289fc36435d%7C1%7C0%7C637230640575942906&sdata=DVvvbSg54WqCwGXXONZSWQqi%2BYY4sDgDHohHPiDr9x0%3D&reserved=0> will decontaminate N95 masks, strengthening the state's ability to protect healthcare workers as they treat COVID-19 positive patients across the state.



On April 10, Battelle was awarded a contract by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) on behalf of the U.S Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide the Critical Care Decontamination System (CCDS) in Idaho.



Idaho's CCDS arrived and is co-located with the Idaho National Laboratory site in Idaho Falls. The CCDS can decontaminate up to 80,000 N95-type respirators each day, allowing them to be reused multiple times. Hospitals, nursing homes, home health facilities, emergency services personnel and others will be able to use the service.



"A critical component of Idaho Rebounds<https://rebound.idaho.gov/stages-of-reopening/> - our plan to safety reopen the economy in stages - is ensuring available ventilators, intensive care unit beds, and personal protective equipment (PPE) to safely care for COVID-19 patients in hospitals," said Governor Brad Little. "Battelle's CCDS will safeguard Idaho's access to critical N95 respirators to make sure the front-line health providers have the equipment they need."



The Idaho Office of Emergency Management (IOEM) signed a use agreement with Battelle that will encompass Idaho state agencies and local jurisdictions. This agreement will allow state and local emergency management, first responders, coroners, medical examiners, corrections departments, public health districts, and child protective services to operate under a single agreement.



There is no cost to use the service. Entities can request Battelle CCDS services here: https://www.battelle.org/inquiry/offerings-and-services/covid-response



"The Battelle Decontamination System is a terrific process that helps protect our health care professionals, increases the use of the mask, and improves our ability to distribute PPE," Idaho Office of Emergency Management Director Brad Richy said. "We are proud to help bring this resource to the State of Idaho."

Gov. Little appeals to U.S. Supreme Court to stop transgender inmate?s sex-reassignment surgery



Boise, Idaho ? Governor Brad Little announced today that the State of Idaho has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a decision of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ordering the state to provide Idaho inmate Adree Edmo with sex-reassignment surgery.



?At my direction, the State of Idaho has filed the necessary petitions with the U.S. Supreme Court to appeal the Ninth Circuit?s ruling requiring Idaho to pay for an inmate?s sex-reassignment surgery. The Ninth Circuit?s decision goes against the text and original meaning of the Eighth Amendment and contradicts more than four decades of Supreme Court precedent. We will vigorously litigate the Ninth Circuit?s unprecedented ruling at the Supreme Court because the taxpayers of Idaho should not have to pay for a procedure that is not medically necessary,? Governor Little said.



In December of 2018, a federal district judge overruled the treating physician?s determination that inmate Adree Edmo?s sex-reassignment surgery was not medically necessary. The state appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and in August 2019 a three-judge panel affirmed the district judge?s ruling.



The state sought rehearing by the entire Ninth Circuit, which was denied. Ten judges dissented from the denial. One of those dissents, joined by eight judges, found the Ninth Circuit?s decision to be ?as unjustified as it is unprecedented.? Opinion respecting denial of rehearing en banc by Judge O?Scannlain at p. 5. That dissenting opinion also argued that the state and its prison medical providers ?certainly were not guilty of violating the Eighth Amendment.? Opinion respecting denial by Judge O?Scannlain, at p. 33.



Additionally, the state also filed an application to stay (or pause) the district court?s order requiring surgery pending the appeal.



?I am confident the Supreme Court will find the Ninth Circuit is once again outside the judicial mainstream. I wish to thank Attorney General Lawrence Wasden and his deputies for their work. Our two offices have worked together to defend the taxpayer and the Constitution in this case,? Governor Little said.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 11, 2020



White House highlights Idaho as leader in reopening plans and distribution of federal relief funds



Boise, Idaho - The White House is highlighting Idaho as a leader among states for our plans to safely and responsibly reopen the economy and for how we are allocating federal relief funds.



"In recent media events and during meetings with state leaders, President Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and White House officials have called out Idaho as an example for other states to follow in our staged approach to reopening, how we are prioritizing direct assistance to small businesses in our use of federal relief funds, and our level of transparency in reporting use of the funds," Governor Little said.



"We are encouraged to see so many states embracing the phased approach to reopening their economies that's contemplated in our guidelines for Opening Up America Again. Governor Brad Little of Idaho released 'Rebound Idaho'...that will consist of four phases and require specific criteria that Idaho and businesses need to meet to begin to reopen," Vice President Mike Pence said recently.



Governor Little approved his Coronavirus Financial Advisory Committee's recommendations for allocation of funds from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The full breakdown is available at https://coronavirus.idaho.gov/coronavirus-financial-advisory-committee/.



Two-thirds of the federal funds that have been allocated so far in Idaho - more than $300 million - will go directly to small business in the form of cash grants and cash for personal protective equipment to support workers and customers. No other state is putting up more money to directly support small business.



The majority of the remaining amount has been allocated to local governments and tribal governments throughout Idaho.



Idaho received $1.25 billion in April as part of the CARES Act. Approximately 36-percent of the funds have been allocated so far, and the rest remains in a state account to cover any extraordinary and unanticipated expenses that may arise.



All expenditures of the CARES Act funds will be made available at Transparent.Idaho.Gov<https://transparent.idaho.gov/transparentidaho/Pages/home.aspx>, State Controller Brandon Woolf's web site that shows Idaho citizens how taxpayer dollars are being spent.



"Our priority is to directly support small businesses as much as possible as we prudently and judiciously expend these taxpayer dollars. I want to thank President Trump, our congressional delegation, and our champion of transparency State Controller Brandon Woolf, for their support," Governor Little said.



Small businesses can begin applying for the Idaho Rebound cash grants today. Information on how to apply is at https://rebound.idaho.gov/idaho-rebound-cash-grants-for-small-businesses/.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 14, 2020



Small businesses can access 30-day supply of PPE as state opens for Stage 2 of Idaho Rebounds plan Saturday



Boise, Idaho - Governor Brad Little announced today that small businesses have a new resource to access masks, gloves, and sanitizer as the state enters Stage 2 of the four-stage Idaho Rebounds plan<https://rebound.idaho.gov/> to safely and responsibly open Idaho's economy.



Idaho small businesses can obtain a 30-day supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) for their employees and patrons at supplies.idaho.gov<https://supplies.idaho.gov/>.



"Health and the economy are not mutually exclusive - they are interconnected," Governor Little said. "It's been a challenge for small businesses to acquire PPE in quantities appropriate for their size. We don't want the lack of access to PPE to inhibit small businesses from opening, and this new resource is an interim bridge to help them get back to work safely and build consumer confidence while the supply chain normalizes."



Idaho is leading the country in its support of small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier this week, Idaho small businesses started applying for the Idaho Rebound cash grants<https://rebound.idaho.gov/idaho-rebound-cash-grants-for-small-businesses/>. Governor Little made $300 million available to small businesses in direct cash support - more than any other state. Idaho's handling of federal relief funds and prioritization of small businesses has drawn praise from the White House.



Governor Little also announced Idaho has met the criteria to enter Stage 2 on Saturday. Additional details are available at rebound.idaho.gov<https://rebound.idaho.gov/>.



Ninety percent of businesses were able to open their doors on May 1 when Idaho entered Stage 1. Many more began offering curbside services since mid-April. As Idaho enters Stage 2 on Saturday, 95-percent of Idaho businesses will be able to open their doors as long as protocols<https://rebound.idaho.gov/business-specific-protocols-for-opening/> are followed.



In addition, he said he decided to move the opening of bars up from Stage 4 to Stage 3, due to downward trends and after close consultation with public health experts. If Idaho continues to hit benchmarks, then bars can reopen on May 30 - two weeks earlier than previously anticipated.



Governor Little also said he decided to modify the 14-day self-quarantine requirement for out-of-state travelers coming to Idaho. Only visitors from hot spots - places with prevalent community spread - are required to self-quarantine for 14 days after entering the state. The move should help Idaho's vital tourism industry while keeping Idahoans safe.



In Stage 2, starting Saturday:



  *   Restaurants can open for dine-in as long as protocols<https://rebound.idaho.gov/business-specific-protocols-for-opening/> are followed.



  *   Indoor gyms, recreation facilities, hair salons and other close contact services can open as long as protocols<https://rebound.idaho.gov/business-specific-protocols-for-opening/> are followed.



  *   Bars should begin making plans to open in Stage 3. Protocols for bars to open in Stage 3 will be posted Friday here<https://rebound.idaho.gov/business-specific-protocols-for-opening/>.



  *   Just like in Stage 1, there is no requirement for people to self-isolate. But vulnerable individuals are strongly urged to continue to self-isolate if they can.



  *   Only out-of-state travelers from hot spots are required to self-quarantine for 14 days after entering the state.



  *   Employees should return to work in phases and continue to telework whenever possible.



  *   We should all minimize non-essential travel.



  *   Gatherings, both public and private, of less than 10 people can occur where appropriate physical distancing and precautionary measures are observed.



  *   Social distancing and sanitation protocols should be followed, including washing hands and cleaning surfaces regularly and wearing a face covering in public.



  *   Large venues such as large sporting events and movie theatres remain closed until later stages.



"Generally, things are better in Idaho than elsewhere. We were one of the last states in the country to have a confirmed case, and now - because of the great people of Idaho - we are one of the first states to reopen our economy responsibly with a staged plan. But the strength of our economy depends on employee and consumer confidence. We cannot be inattentive to the practices that got us here. We all must continue practicing preventive measures such as wearing face coverings in public, washing hands and surfaces frequently, and limiting exposure to others," Governor Little said.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 18, 2020



Gov. Little extends cash grants to self-employed



Boise, Idaho - Self-employed individuals economically impacted by COVID-19 now may be eligible to receive up to $7,500 in cash support through the Idaho Rebound cash grants for small businesses.



The Governor's Coronavirus Financial Advisory Committee on Friday approved the eligibility expansion to the self-employed.



"Idaho made $300 million available in cash support to small businesses - more than any other state," Governor Little said. "Expanding this resource to self-employed business owners should help them get back on their feet and relieve some of the financial loss brought about by this unexpected and unwelcome virus. I appreciate Idaho workers and businesses for their determination during these uncertain times, and for their dedication in reinforcing consumer and employee confidence by operating safely."



Applications for the cash grants started coming in May 11 for businesses with one to 19 employees. To date, the state has approved or issued more than 2,600 applications for a total of approximately $26 million in grants.



Information about the fund distributions can be found at Transparent.Idaho.Gov<https://transparent.idaho.gov/transparentidaho/Pages/home.aspx>.



The application cycle for self-employed individuals will start on May 27. Applicants need to create a Taxpayer Access Point (TAP) account and are encouraged to do so prior to their application phase opening.



Additional information on how to apply for the Idaho Rebound cash grants is available at https://rebound.idaho.gov/idaho-rebound-cash-grants-for-small-businesses/.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 21, 2020



Idaho?s economic rebound hinges on the safety and confidence of consumers and employees



By Governor Brad Little



As more and more businesses are opening their doors, many Idahoans have been eager to get out of the house and get back to work.



I?m grateful to see my friends and neighbors feeling confident about returning to work and visiting businesses again.



But there remain many other Idahoans with earnest concern about the effect coronavirus could have on them and their families.



Close to half a million Idaho adults are considered at-risk of developing severe complications from coronavirus. That?s more than one-third of our adult population.



Health and the economy are not mutually exclusive ? they are interconnected.



We cannot rebound if a huge segment of our population is afraid to engage in the economy again.



They will engage, however, if they feel safe going outside their homes to visit businesses and return to work.



We all have a role to play in keeping them safe.



Our personal actions are the most effective way to manage the virus and get our economy roaring again. Wear a face covering in public, keep at least six feet of physical distance from others, keep hands and surfaces clean, and stay home if you?re sick.



Many businesses and employers are protecting their workers and customers by practicing these measures.



Even if contracting COVID-19 is low on your list of personal concerns, I urge you to still do these things. Prosperity and safety are linked. Protecting other citizens is the right thing to do, and our economic rebound depends on it.



Folks also need to know they should go to their health care provider for other medical issues. Please, don?t put off care because of concerns about COVID-19. In many cases, longer delays in care will worsen outcomes for patients. Hospitals, healthcare facilities, clinics, and doctors have the protections in place to treat you safely and appropriately.



Idaho was one of the last states in the country with a confirmed coronavirus case. We were one of the first states to create a safe, responsible plan to reopen the economy in stages. President Trump, Vice President Pence, and White House officials repeatedly have praised Idaho?s staged approach and our handling of federal relief funds in prioritizing support for small businesses.



The one and only reason we?re able progress through the stages of reopening is because the people of Idaho ? individually and collectively ? have taken personal responsibility in slowing the spread of this new disease.



We are better off in Idaho than elsewhere not because the problem doesn?t exist, but because we?re doing a good job protecting our family, neighbors, and friends.



We cannot let up. We control the outcome. We control our ability to make consumers and employees confident about going back to work and visiting places of business. Our personal choices matter.



Thank you to the people of Idaho for your determination during these tough times and the care you have shown others.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 21, 2020



For first time in 38 years, Idaho state government won?t borrow money to support cash flow, saving taxpayer dollars



Boise, Idaho ? Under the direction of Governor Brad Little and State Treasurer Julie Ellsworth, the State of Idaho will not borrow money in the bond market to meet anticipated cash flow requirements for the current fiscal year.



This is the first year since 1982 that the Idaho State Treasurer will not issue a State of Idaho Tax Anticipation Note (TAN) to meet the anticipated cash flow requirements due to the time lag between when state revenue is received and when state expenses are incurred.



?This move is about good government and prudent management of taxpayer dollars. Given the uncertain economic times, we must minimize state borrowing and limit the amount of General Fund that is committed to interest payments on loans,? Governor Little said.



The move was reviewed by the Treasurer?s Credit Rating Enhancement Committee at its meeting today.


?This prudent approach is a huge win for Idaho taxpayers. It saves General Fund dollars with respect to cash flow management. It also leverages the CARES Act dollars and puts them to work for Idahoans while still making these funds readily available to Idaho small businesses as this COVID-19 situation continues to unfold,? State Treasurer Julie Ellsworth said.

When the state issues TANs, the state pays interest to an external entity. Over the past five years, the interest has averaged more than $15 million to a national bank. Those taxpayer dollars will be saved this year by not issuing the TAN.



Governor Little approved a recommendation from his Coronavirus Financial Advisory Committee to leverage federal relief funds for cash management. Idaho has allocated only $450 million to date, out of $1.25 billion directed to the State of Idaho from the federal government.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 22, 2020



Idaho rolls out new COVID-19 testing strategy to protect lives, preserve healthcare capacity, rebound economy



Boise, Idaho - Governor Brad Little announced today that the Testing Task Force assembled one month ago has completed its recommendations.



"A strong economic rebound can only occur with a combination of efforts, and expanded and targeted testing is a big part of our strategy," Governor Little said. "We have an impressive team of very capable local clinical and laboratory and research experts from across the state helping us navigate this crisis, and I sincerely appreciate their help."



The task force's full report is available at https://rebound.idaho.gov/stages-of-reopening/.



The Testing Task Force's recommendations include:



  *   Who should be tested and how often. Testing across all groups of people should be expanded. This will include testing of both symptomatic and some asymptomatic people based on priority level. The task force proposed five testing priority levels based on testing need. Priority 1 represents people with the highest need for testing (such as healthcare workers, residents of nursing homes, and others) and priority 5 represents those with the lowest need.



  *   Investment in local testing capacity must be significantly increased.



  *   Expansion of molecular diagnostic testing now, which in combination with proven public health practices such as tracing, physical distancing, enhanced sanitation, hand hygiene, and instructing ill people to stay home to protect others, will help stop the spread of COVID-19. Molecular diagnostic tests identify the presence of the virus and tell us who is infected. Knowing who has the virus is the most important information we need to reduce disease transmission.



  *   A limited use of serologic (antibody) testing, which detects human antibodies to the virus. The presence of antibodies tells us who has been exposed to the virus in the past, but that does not guarantee they will be protected from re-infection. There will be important public health uses for serology testing, but at a later point in the response.



"The takeaway message from these recommendations is that we will need to build incredible testing capacity plus the ability to respond to all of those results with appropriate clinical and public health follow-up care, if we hope to provide widescale and repeated testing for all Idahoans who may need to be tested," said Dr. Christopher Ball, Chief of the Idaho Bureau of Laboratories and co-chair of the Testing Task Force.



The task force also noted:



  *   Testing for COVID-19 is not a strategy that stands alone; it informs public health prevention strategies and risk mitigation efforts.



  *   Well-executed risk mitigation efforts will achieve both reductions in disease transmission and a successfully reopened economy.



  *   Lastly, a robust approach to educating the public, businesses, industry, schools, and others must be a critical part of the enhanced public health prevention strategies required to effectively mitigate COVID-19 transmission risk.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 27, 2020

Guidance now available for safe gatherings

Boise, Idaho - State and local public health experts created a new guidance document to assist with decisions about gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Interim Guidance for Safe Gatherings and Public Events in Idaho document is available at https://rebound.idaho.gov/business-specific-protocols-for-opening/.

The document addresses how to plan for safe gatherings in the various stages of the Idaho Rebounds plan, and beyond.

"We're dealing with an unexpected disease that can show very mild or nonexistent symptoms in some people and have devastating effects on others, and we all must do our part to protect others by following these measures," Governor Brad Little said. "In the coming months, our personal actions in following the recommended guidance and protocols will help us protect lives, preserve healthcare capacity, and rebound our economy more quickly."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 28, 2020



Idahoans reminded to continue safe practices as Idaho enters Stage 3 of reopening



Boise, Idaho - Governor Brad Little announced today Idaho has met the criteria to advance to Stage 3 of the Idaho Rebounds plan to safely and responsibly reopen Idaho's economy.



"We are better off in Idaho than elsewhere not because the problem doesn't exist here but because we're doing a good job protecting our families, neighbors, and friends," Governor Little said. "Health and the economy are not mutually exclusive - they are interconnected. Half a million Idahoans are at risk of developing serious complications from COVID-19 if they contract it, and we cannot rebound if a huge segment of our population is concerned to engage in the economy again. They will engage, however, if they feel safe going outside their homes to visit businesses and return to work. We all play a role in keeping them safe."



Governor Little also said that after consultation with movie theatre operators and public health officials, he decided to move up the opening of movie theatres by two weeks - from Stage 4 to Stage 3 beginning Saturday - as long as protocols are followed. Protocols for movie theatres to follow will be made available later today.



Beginning Saturday (Stage 3):



  *   Bars can open their doors, as long as protocols to protect workers and the public are followed. Governor Little moved up the opening of bars two weeks early, from Stage 4 to Stage 3.



  *   After consultation with movie theatre operators and public health officials, the opening of movie theatres will occur in Stage 3 on Saturday instead of Stage 4, as long as protocols are followed.



  *   Gatherings of up to 50 people can occur, where appropriate physical distancing and precautionary measures are observed.



  *   Only out-of-state travelers from areas of high spread should quarantine for 14 days after entering Idaho. This step will help our vital tourism and hospitality industry while keeping citizens safe.



  *   Over the duration of Stage 3, vulnerable Idahoans should be diligent to minimize exposure to transmissible moments.



  *   Employees should continue to telework whenever possible, and employers should continue to return employees to on-site work in phases. Employees who are considered vulnerable individuals should continue to self-quarantine. Special accommodations for these employees should be made in the workplace if they are unable to work from home.



  *   Non-essential travel can resume to locations that allow it and do not have ongoing transmission.



  *   All open businesses continue to follow protocol for opening.



  *   Visits to senior living facilities and congregate facilities are still prohibited in order to protect workers and individuals in those facilities.



  *   Large venues and sporting events remain closed until Stage 4.



"Our personal actions are the most effective way to manage the virus and get our economy roaring again," Governor Little added.



Every Idahoan is urged to continue practicing measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including:



  *   Wearing a face covering in public
  *   Keeping at least six feet of physical distance from others
  *   Keeping hands and surfaces clean
  *   Staying home if you're sick



Idaho can only advance through the stages of reopening if we continue to meet epidemiological, syndromic and healthcare capacity criteria. Additional details are available at https://rebound.idaho.gov/stages-of-reopening/.
