St. Luke's McCall COVID-19 Testing
August 3, 2020
Since Idaho's first case of COVID-19 was diagnosed on March 13, 2020, St. Luke's has been learning, evolving and adapting to
respond to the disease in the communities we serve. As we continue to navigate in the new environment of coronavirus, we are
committed to providing safe care and support or our communities to help keep the economy open.
Until we have proven therapies and a vaccine, we must continue to practice behaviors to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and
protect the most vulnerable members of our community.
• Wear a mask in public.
• Stay home if you're sick and avoid people who are ill.
• Maintain a six feet distance from others.
• Avoid large gatherings and crowds.
• Wash your hands frequently, especially after you've been in public, touched door handles, stair railings, money, grocery
carts, etc.
• Cover your coughs and sneezes with your elbow or a tissue (not your hands).
We want to help support community members and local leaders make informed decisions to help prevent the spread of the virus
and protect our family and friends, our economy and our health care resources. Information is key. We are committed to sharing
what we see through the data we collect.
It's important to be mindful when reviewing data, it is only a fraction of all testing being conducted in the region and only represents
tests completed at St. Luke's McCall. It does not include testing results from other hospitals, clinics or Crush the Curve.
Central District Health and state's coronavirus websites provide comprehensive county and state COVID data and remain valuable
resources to monitor the virus.

While St. Luke's McCall data indicates that cases remained low from March through mid -June, the most recent trend of increased
cases corelates with Governor Little's Rebound Idaho phased reopening plan and the return of the summer residents and tourists to
the region.
St. Luke's will share available data and good practices on a regular basis, to support information sharing and facilitate informed local
decisions, and safe practices.
We recognize sharing data is important for our communities to make informed decisions about preventing, protecting and
mitigating COVID-19. We will continue to add information and data to our website, including information for other communities St.
Luke's serves. Please check back often for updates.
