Covid-19 Rationing of Hospital Care Ends in Hard-Pressed Idaho

(Bloomberg) -- Rationing of hospital care is ending in Idaho after conditions improved in the northern part of the state where anti-vaccination sentiment has been widespread.
“While the number of COVID-19 patients remains high and continues to stress healthcare systems, the surge is currently no longer exceeding the healthcare resources available,” according to a statement Monday by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.
So-called crisis standards of care were withdrawn in the rest of Idaho last month. “We’re still watching the Omicron variant very closely because this is a precarious time,” said Dave Jeppesen, director of the state health department.
