State
Avoiding Another COVID-19 Surge
Utah’s COVID-19 rates have come down dramatically in the past couple of months, but medical experts warn the state isn’t out of the woods yet. Infectious disease expert Dr. Andrew Pavia said new variants of the virus are circulating in the state, and those appear to be more transmissible. To avoid another surge, Pavia said Utahns should keep wearing masks and social distancing. The state department of health reported 514 new cases of the disease Wednesday. Pavia said Utah should be aiming for 100 cases a day or fewer. —
