EIPH COVID-19 Regional Response Plan

As Idaho's response to the COVID-19 pandemic transitions from a statewide response to a regional response, Eastern Idaho Public Health has developed a COVID-19 Regional Response Plan and a series of risk levels to help slow the spread of COVID-19. This plan is applicable to Bonneville, Clark, Custer, Fremont, Jefferson, Lemhi, Madison, and Teton Counties.

  STATEWIDE STAY HEALTHY ORDER - MODIFIED STAGE 2

Governor Little and Idaho Department of Health & Welfare Director Jeppesen issued the above Order that prohibits gatherings (public and private) of more than 10 people; requires face coverings at long term care facilities, and physical distancing and sanitation requirements. The limitations on events/gathering in this Order are more restrictive than those included in the Public Health Orders issued by Eastern Idaho Public Health (below); therefore, the restrictions on events/gatherings in this Order supersede those of EIPH's. The requirement for face coverings in EIPH's Orders are still in effect.

During Fiscal Year 2019, EIPH partnered with Eastern Idaho
Community ActionPartnership, the United Way of Idaho Falls and Bonneville County, and VOICE Advocacy to conduct a community needs assessment in Eastern Idaho which covered Bonneville, Butte, Clark, Custer, Fremont, Jefferson, Lemhi, Madison, and Teton Counties. Information gathered through this process will be used by EIPH's Board of Health and Administration to help us better target education, resources, and service delivery as much as possible in an effort to improve health and quality of life of residents in our region.

Access the full Community Needs Assessment Report here.

This will be an ongoing effort for the next three years. Each year, we will hold Community Conversations in each county as well as gather infromation through surveys. Watch more for information about this coming soon.
