Funeral homes in US state run out of storage amid COVID-19 surge: CNN

WASHINGTON -- As COVID-19 cases continue to surge across the United States, particularly among unvaccinated Americans, some funeral homes in the state of Idaho are running out of space, CNN reported on Sunday.

Quoting data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the report said that Idaho has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the United States, with only 41.3 percent of residents fully vaccinated as of Saturday.

"In Idaho, COVID-19 has killed an average of 20 people a day over the past week," it said.

Meanwhile, hospitals are also overwhelmed. About 90 percent of Idaho's ICU beds are currently occupied, with 58.6 percent taken up by COVID-19 patients, the report noted, citing data from the US Department of Health and Human Services.
