Press conference by @GovHerbert.

Coronavirus is a new virus. This is NOT influenza. Yesterday, we announced a recommendation for more social distancing so we don't spread disease. After consulting with @DicksonSyd and other leaders, I am announcing today a soft closure of Utah's public schools.

Utah’s schools are dismissed for a period of two weeks in order to help prevent the spread of novel coronavirus in our communities, says @GovHerbert

Press conference:

We are announcing additional preemptive measures today, says @SpencerJCox

#UtahCOVID19 Right now @GovHerbert says that many civic events are being postponed due to public concerns of COVID-19.

We are working to mitigate the spread of coronavirus.

The processes we are going to announce are solid and based on good science.
