COVID-19 GUIDELINES

FOR COVID-19 IN SOUTHERN UTAH

"The data is going to inform us. We aren't going to be governed by fear or politics." -Governor Gary Herbert

Utah’s forward progress against COVID-19 won’t be instant like flipping a switch. It’ll be more like gradually moving a dial. A color-coded health guidance system has been developed to guide health behaviors for individuals and businesses. Each level of the dial is guided by a measurement system which can be different by each county. Higher-risk individuals operate under stricter instructions because they are more likely to suffer severe illness from COVID-19.
