Longterm care facilities quickly became COVID-19 hotspots when the virus emerged in the United States. In Idaho, nearly one-quarter of long-term care centers have had staff or patients test positive for the coronavirus. Boise State Public Radio reporter Rachel Cohen took a closer look at one of them in northern Idaho, and joins Idaho Matters to talk about what she learned. 

As COVID-19 cases spread through the U.S. and Idaho, we’re committed to keeping you updated and informed. You can get updated info on cases, closures and how to stay healthy at any time on our Coronavirus news blog.
