SALT LAKE CITY — A majority of Utahns support the ongoing mask mandate in Utah's K-12 schools, a recent Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll shows.
When asked if they agree with Gov. Spencer Cox administration's decision to continue the mandate beyond the April 10 date when the statewide mask order otherwise ended under HB294, 63% of Utahns said they either strongly or somewhat agree.
Meanwhile, 35% said they somewhat or strongly disagree with order while 3% said they were not sure, according to poll results.
