In the last 7 days, Utah County still has the most new cases/100k - and had the most today too - but most of the other districts are catching up. Only San Juan and TriCounty have added fewer than 10 cases/day (per 100k) in the last week, while the average elsewhere is 27/day.
After UTCo implemented their mask mandate, @SLCoMayor applauded UTCo Commissioner @TannerAinge and said, "Watch cases drop in about 7 days." That clearly happened, but it doesn& #39;t explain what& #39;s happening in #SLCo, which has had a mandate since 6/28.
Clearly, masks are not entirely responsible for declining cases in UTCo, nor for the rise in SLCo. Awareness through effective messaging and outreach as well as smart public health policies - esp for schools - are every bit as important.

(Also: @jordandistrict is rising...)
Unfortunately, while cases are falling (somewhat) in UTCo, hospitalizations and fatalities are rising. In the last 4 wks (which is 13% of the pandemic), UTCo has added:

220 hospitalizations (749 total, or 29%)
14 deaths (66 total, or 21%)

And new cases are still very high.
