SALT LAKE CITY Utah has reached the COVID-19 pandemic endgame.
The state crossed the threshold in the three metrics outlined in Utah HB294, also known as the pandemic endgame bill, Tuesday afternoon, according to health officials. That means that most state and local health orders will end Tuesday.
The bill required restrictions to be lifted once the state reached three benchmarks:
A two-week coronavirus case rate of less than 191 per 100,000 people
Less than 15% of intensive care unit beds be occupied by COVID-19 patients over a seven-day average
1,633,000 prime doses of the COVID-19 vaccine be allocated to the state
Polk County rejects RJ Zavoral & Sons’ asphalt plant proposal
Polk County s Board of Commissioners on Tuesday morning unanimously voted down RJ Zavoral & Sons application for an interim use permit that would have let the company operate a mobile asphalt plant about a mile outside of East Grand Forks. Opponents of the plan worried about the effect on the nearby Red Lake River, traffic backups, as well as the odor, dust, and noise the plant would produce when it was churning out asphalt. 12:02 pm, Apr. 27, 2021 ×
