Utah Gov. Gary Herbert issued two new executive orders on Monday in response to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

The first order allows entities participating in the Utah Retirement Systems to “extend work opportunities to recently retired persons in order to meet needs for critical government functions.”

The second order limits how Industrial Assistance Account funds can be accessed which will allow the Governor’s Office of Economic Development to use the fund for zero interest loans to small businesses

“Utah’s coronavirus response is comprehensive. It takes into account both crucial public health needs and economic needs,” Herbert said in a statement. “These executive orders will help us continue providing essential services, and create a pathway to support small businesses impacted by social distancing orders and recommendations.”
