COVID-19 FAQ
While there are no longer daily updates on the number of COVID-19 cases in our city, county, and state, the disease is not gone. There are still a large number of cases diagnosed each week. The Salt Lake County Health Department has changed the method of reporting these cases in our schools and in getting information to parents. We have updated our COVID-19 FAQ to reflect these changes.
