Herbert asks Utahns to ‘recommit’ to slow spread of COVID-19

SALT LAKE CITY — Gov. Gary Herbert on Tuesday took to Twitter to celebrate Utah’s success in keepings its COVID-19 mortality rate low but called for continued vigilance. “The goal of our COVID response is to protect lives and livelihoods. While Utah has one of the lowest mortality rates and the lowest jobless rate in the nation, we still have a lot of work to do to get through this pandemic. Together, we can preserve life and rebuild our economy,” Herbert tweeted.
