Idaho Gov. Brad Little has announced that he has reactivated the National Guard and has directed up to 370 additional personnel to support state hospitals amid a surge in COVID-19 cases in the state.
The Republican governor said in an Aug. 31 statement that just four intensive care unit beds out of nearly 400 were available in the entire state, noting that there were more COVID-19 patients in ICU beds in Idaho “than ever before” and that “the vast majority of them are unvaccinated.”
