The case involved a woman in her 50s in Ada County, said Elke Shaw-Tulloch, administrator of public health for the Department of Health and Welfare. The woman has experienced mild to moderate symptoms that didn’t require hospitalization, and she’s recovering well, Shaw-Tullock said. The woman returned from a conference in New York City, , Shaw-Tullock said, where three attendees had confirmed coronavirus cases.
