Boise Mayor issues Stage 3 public health order along with the state's

BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — Boise's Mayor announced Thursday a Stage 3 public health order that essentially coincides with the state's reopening plan.

"I’m incredibly proud to see Boiseans come together to respond to these tremendous challenges we have faced from the COVID-19 global health crisis," Mayor Lauren McLean said. "We’ve all worked together on measures to protect our entire community, reshaped how we work and connect with one another and mapped out plans for economic recovery. We’re in this together, Boise, and we’ll recover together."

McLean signed public health orders coinciding with the state’s plan, that will:

• Require businesses to follow the business safety protocols as outlined by the state.
• Provide for additional protection at our airport, allowing only travelers and essential workers and assistance ides be allowed in public areas.
• Require physical distancing of six feet unless protocols have been issued by the state and require sanitation requirements.
• Limit group gatherings to 50 people or fewer.
• Make provisions to accommodate public meetings.
