Beaver and Emery counties have moved from "High" to "Moderate" on the transmission index, which identifies the risk of COVID-19 transmission in each county based on case counts, positivity rates and intensive care unit utilization. The index also provides guidance for physical distancing, the use of masks, social gathering sizes and other COVID-19 precautions.
The Utah Department of Health's COVID-19 report for Thursday shows an increase of 487 confirmed cases—bringing the state's total to 386,128—and three additional deaths.
