Fifteen additional deaths were reported Monday for the most recent weekend period bringing the state s death toll from the virus to 2,466. We strongly recommend local health departments and schools use a layered prevention approach, including encouraging vaccination and mask wearing, among other strategies, Dr. Michelle Hofmann, deputy director of the Utah Department of Health, said in a statement.
