Idaho Legislature's COVID-19 outbreak infected at least 14, spread to household members

[TexasTowelie]

The COVID-19 cluster that formed last month in the Idaho Capitol building infected at least 14 people who live in four different regions of the state.

The Idaho Legislature went into recess March 19 after several legislators and employees tested positive in the span of a week and a half. Earlier in the legislative session, six people who worked in the statehouse were infected, including two senators, according to the Idaho Press.

The latest infections bring the total to at least 20 people infected since the Legislature’s session began in January.

Idaho Press on Tuesday reported that one House staffer is currently hospitalized for COVID-19. “I pray especially today for John and for you to touch his life as he’s in the hospital,” House Chaplain Tom Dougherty said in the opening prayer, according to the newspaper.
