Don’t look for Utah to impose another mask mandate or other restrictions to stop the spread of COVID-19 despite a rise in cases spurred by the new delta variant of the virus, Gov. Spencer Cox said, although the state may offer incentives to encourage more vaccinations.
“Absolutely not. We’re pleading for a return to sanity and asking people to get their vaccines,” the governor said Thursday when asked about the possibility of new restrictions during his regular COVID-19 briefing at the state Capitol in Salt Lake City.
“It won’t make a difference. It just won’t. We’re not doing that. Again, we have the answer to all of this and the answer isn’t restrictions. The answer isn’t to destroy people’s jobs. The answer isn’t to force people to wear masks. The answer is to get vaccinated,” Cox said.
