SALT LAKE CITY, (Utah) – After Governor Herbert’s press conference a statement came from the Salt Lake City’s Mayors office, here is what Mayor Mendenhall released:
“With new case counts breaking records weekly, daily deaths increasing, and no downward trend in sight, the Governor’s loosening of the public health order today is the opposite of what state leadership should be doing right now. Data-driven decision-making means using the best available information to acutely address the source of the issue, and in Salt Lake County, the majority of case spread is within households. This announcement by the state to relax restrictions exactly where we know the most spread of COVID is happening, is counter to good logic and the data we have.
