SALT LAKE CITY-Per a Wednesday report, a new COVID-19 model has been released for the Beehive State.
Should this model come to pass, 70,000 hospitalizations may be required in Utah as of April 28.
In analyzing the data, University of Utah visiting professor, Dean Baker, said this model comes down to two important issues facing the Beehive State.
He believes these are: the notion that a large number of people in Utah will get the coronavirus and, if so, what can the state do to limit the number and spread of the time period as much as possible.
Baker believes that a shelter-in-place throughout the state could mollify the problem and that as long as social distancing occurs, this potential problem may still be averted.
