Back to School Virus Watch | Boise News

As kids head back to school, be alert: wastewater data reveals high COVID-19 levels in Boise, with norovirus and rotavirus also circulating. With close quarters and shared spaces, respiratory and stomach bugs like flu, RSV, and strep can spread fast—especially after breaks. While all illnesses matter, flu, COVID, and RSV pose greater risks for vulnerable kids. Stay proactive: keep vaccinations up-to-date, teach kids to wash hands properly (make it fun!), cover coughs, avoid face-touching, and keep sick kids home until cleared by school health teams.
