Idaho medical experts seeing increase in COVID-19 variants
Health officials are tracking the variants spread in Idaho by keeping a close eye on COVID-19 test results. Author: Katija Stjepovic (KTVB) Updated: 8:31 PM MDT March 16, 2021
BOISE, Idaho Some Idaho health experts worry that new COVID-19 variants may eventually become the norm.
Last Thursday, the state reported eight cases of the variant originally identified in the UK, two cases of the variant first found in South Africa and 12 cases of the variant discovered in California late last year.
While studies on the variants are ongoing, each is believed to spread more easily and quickly than the original strain of the virus. According to the CDC, that could put more strain on health care resources, lead to more hospitalizations, and potentially more deaths.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. My first choice, John Wooden (proven winner), died in 2010. Details, details.
My second choice, Gregg Popovich, apparently couldn’t be pried away from the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs. Warm and fuzzy with the media as he is, Pop would have been fun to cover.
