While coronavirus cases have slowed significantly this month in eastern Idaho â with daily case averages declining from the 200s to fewer than 150 over the past week â medical leaders warn that local intensive care units remain stretched near their limits treating mostly COVID-19 patients.
Idaho Falls hospitals, for the most part, still have relatively low ICU capacity and high total COVID-19 patients as they did during the spike in cases after Thanksgiving.
Small private gatherings have been fueling new infections in the region, according to experts who are asking people to stay home for the holidays to avoid overwhelming the health care system.
 The holidays are said to be the most wonderful time of the year.
But there are still some risks that can take place. Particularly, with decorations - and getting a possible burn. Whether it s decorations, celebrations, activities which increase our risk for association with burns particularly when we re dealing with decorations, said Doctor Tait Olaveson, Director of Burn Services at the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center.
And he s advising that people be careful about how they re decorating - regardless of the holiday. Any holiday when we re adding those extra things into our daily routines there are some increased risk from dealing with a burn, said Olaveson.
