Ten residents of Elevations RTC, a youth residential treatment center in Northern Utah, have tested positive for COVID-19 since Thanksgiving.
There have now been 10 cases of COVID-19 at Elevations RTC, a spokesperson for the youth residential treatment facility confirmed Friday. That number comes roughly two weeks after the Northern Utah treatment center reported its first cases of the virus soon after Thanksgiving.
Elevations is licensed by the state to house up to 90 teenage students, who are divided into self-contained teams. With one exception, all cases have been confined to the “Denali” team, and the one case in a different group is no longer considered active, said Elevations spokesperson Wendy D’Allesandro.
