.@GovHerbert begins by thanking the news media for their work informing the public about #COVID19.

Especially now that Utah is in new risk/restriction levels. But he says physicians/health workers are frustrated that SOME are not following health guidelines. @fox13 #utpol #Utah
"They're not taking it as seriously as they could," @GovHerbert says of people disregarding #COVID19 restrictions.

"We all have our part to play."

He says this is about minimizing risk until there's a vaccine. @fox13 #utpol #Utah
Utah still has a low mortality rate, @GovHerbert says.

We've learned a lot over the past 7 months. Many people don't get very sick. But some do, he says.

"I'm concerned about what we don't know about the long-term impacts," he says. @fox13 #utpol #Utah #COVID19

This is a slightly different format than the usual news conference. I and a few of my masked colleagues from the Capitol press corps are in the @pbsutah studios.

@GovHerbert will appear remotely from the Capitol because, #COVID19.

@fox13 #utpol #Utah
Also, where @GovHerbert's typical @pbsutah news conference is only a half-hour, because of the news of the day it will go to an hour.

He will be joined by @DrAngelaCDunn, @Intermountain's infectious disease specialist and @UtahDepOfHealth director Rich Saunders. @fox13 #utpol
.@GovHerbert intends to open with a presentation.

We will find out today the counties that move up/down on the new restriction/risk scale. @fox13 #utpol #Utah #COVID19

The debate between @SeanReyesUT and @SkordasGreg is under way. First ? Describe an experience that prepared you to be AG.

Reyes says violent crime is down on his watch, says he works across the aisle. He immediately accuses Skordas of going "hyper negative." #utpol #utdebates Image
.@SeanReyesUT is reading negative reviews about @SkordasGreg from online.

Skordas defends his record and says he's been rated as one of the state's top lawyers with hundreds of clients.

"I didn't expect us to start out so negative," he says. @fox13 #utpol #utdebates
When is it appropriate to offer opinion on policy?

@SkordasGreg says Utahns passed ballot initiatives and @SeanReyesUT has done nothing to support the will of the people.

Now the #utleg's HHS committee is getting an update on the #COVID19 vaccine.

Here's my story on it: fox13now.com/news/coronavir… @fox13 #utpol #Utah
Rich Lakin, the immunization director for @UtahDepOfHealth, is outlining the phases for the #COVID19 vaccine. Long-term care facilities, assisted living centers, nursing facilities, health care providers, can also independently order vaccine. @fox13 #utpol #Utah Image
.@UtahDepOfHealth cautions it does not know how many doses it will get, so it is planning for LIMITED doses.

Here's the priority list. @fox13 #utpol #Utah #COVID19 Image

BREAKING NEWS: @UtahDepOfHealth is planning for administering an eventual #COVID19 vaccine. I got a look at their presentation to a #utleg committee: fox13now.com/news/coronavir… @fox13 #utpol #Utah
According to the presentation to the #utleg, @UtahDepOfHealth will prioritize the vaccine and go in waves. Health care workers get first priority. The general public is not expected to get it until wave three: fox13now.com/news/coronavir… @fox13 #utpol #Utah #COVID19
It appears @UtahDepOfHealth is triaging the #COVID19 vaccine based on limited availability. Things could obviously change if the vaccine is more widely distributed by the feds, etc. fox13now.com/news/coronavir… @fox13 #utpol #Utah
