The COVID-19 case count in TriCounty Health District has increased by 3 from the day before. The Thursday Situational Update on www.tricountyhealth.com shows that the confirmed total of cases in Uintah County has reached 25 with 10 Recovered. The total cases in Duchesne County remains at 10 with 9 Recovered and both Daggett County and the Ute Indian Tribe remain at zero. The estimated number of tests conducted in the tri-county area is reported at 4,472. With the announcement that the state is moving the TriCounty Health District to Green, TriCounty Health Officer Jordan Mathis is reminding all to be diligent as restrictions ease. “I know it’s a hot topic,” shares Mathis, “but face coverings will slow transmission. It’s not perfect, just like a seat belt isn’t perfect in saving everyone’s life, but it will slow the transmission [of COVID-19] and the more widespread we can get that use, the better.” For the latest information on COVID-19, visit www.tricountyhealth.com and www.coronavirus.utah.gov.
