SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah‘s mask mandate will end April 10 after Gov. Spencer J. Cox signed a bill Wednesday laying out a new timeline for lifting some of the state’s covid-19 restrictions.
Masks orders will remain in place for schools and gatherings of more than 50 people, and businesses can still choose to require them. Cox signed the measure the same day that vaccinations opened to all people in the state aged 16 and older.
New coronavirus cases and hospitalizations in Utah have been on a downward trend since November 2020. 13.1 percent of all Utahns (438,900-3,334,000) have been vaccinated.
