NEW: EMIGRATION CANYON METRO TOWNSHIP COUNCIL SUPPORTS THE STATE OF EMERGENCY ORDER
Governor and Utah Department of Health Issue Statewide Mask Mandate, Pause Extracurricular Activities, Ask Utahns to Limit Gatherings to Household Only.
Following weeks of continued stress on Utah’s hospital networks due to a rise in cases of COVID-19, Gov. Gary R. Herbert has declared a new State of Emergency to address hospital overcrowding.
The situation is dire and unsustainable. We must take action now to protect our hospitals and healthcare workers and to avoid further devastation on our families, communities, and businesses.
Along with the State of Emergency, the governor and Utah Department of Health have issued concurrent executive and public health orders to curb the surge of cases in Utah.
The orders are effective Monday, Nov. 9, and will remain in effect until Nov. 23, 2020
1. The entire state is now under a mask mandate.
2. Casual social gatherings are only allowed with people you live with until November 23, 2020.
3. All school extracurricular activities, sports, and clubs are on hold for the duration of the orders.
4. College students, who either live on campus or attend at least one in-person class per week, are required to be tested for COVID-19 weekly.
