Gov. Charlie Baker plans to spend a week in Utah with his family starting tomorrow, according to his office, and has planned for daily briefings with staff and public health officials to monitor the state's response to the coronavirus outbreak.

Baker will fly to Salt Lake City on Friday, and return to Massachusetts next Thursday, his office said.

The governor frequently travels to Utah this time of year, and has owned a time-share outside of Park City, Utah for some years.

Baker will be briefed daily while he is away by the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, the Department of Public Health and senior staff on the state’s coronavirus preparations, and his office said he will also continue to correspond with federal officials about what Massachusetts can and should be doing.- Matt Murphy/SHNS | 3/5/20 10:41 AM
