Today is April 10, and we’d like to take this opportunity to set a few things straight when it comes to face masks in Utah.
According to HB 294, the statewide mask mandate ends today with two exceptions:
Masks are still required for large gatherings of 50+ guests.
And masks are still required in K-12 schools.

Not all adults at school are vaccinated.
COVID-19 can have long-term effects on kids.
Asymptomatic kids can give COVID-19 to unvaccinated adults.

We’re not out of the pandemic yet. And we know that masks work to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Bottom line: We encourage everyone to keep wearing masks whenever you can’t physically distance.
