The COVID-19 Transmission Index is a balanced approach intended to protect communities. It represents the collaborative work of state and local public health officials, the Governor’s Office, legislative leaders, the hospital industry, and business leaders.
The transmission index clarifies the public health metrics used to determine which counties are placed in which transmission level. Counties will be placed in one of three transmission levels: High, Moderate, or Low. These levels correspond directly to case rates, positivity rates, and ICU utilization.
Data will be analyzed weekly; counties will be placed into a transmission level depending solely on what information their data shows. Changes from a lower level to a higher level may occur weekly. Changes from a higher level to a lower level may occur every 14 days at a minimum when thresholds are met.
On Sunday, the Utah Department of Health reports a total of 908 new coronavirus cases since Saturday.
There are three new deaths.
A total of 354,608 Utahns have tested positive for COVID-19.
The state reported 2,076,035 total tests administered. This is an increase of 5,845 people tested since yesterday.
