Seven states – all west of the Mississippi River – have at least 30% of ICU beds filled with Covid-19 patients, according to Sunday data from the US Department of Health and Human Services. Montana leads the nation at around 44%, followed by New Mexico, Colorado and Idaho.

Idaho, which has dealt with some of the highest rates of Covid-19 hospitalizations in the nation since the surge, had its first confirmed Covid-19 child death in October when an infant passed away from the virus, health officials said Tuesday.

Citing the importance of vaccination as well as concerns over superspreader risks, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) announced the new regulations at public indoor events.

“Arapahoe, Adams, Boulder, Jefferson counties – as well as the City and County of Denver, and the City and County of Broomfield will enact extra protocols to prevent superspreader events. The protocols require that everyone be vaccinated at indoor, unseated events with more than 500 people,” CDPHE said in a news release.

The protocols are expected to go into effect Friday, November 19.
