COVID-19

Are masks required?

No, however some locations and businesses may require a mask be worn on their premises. There is no current mandate from the state of Utah or Salt Lake county. Please have a mask available and follow signage for those places that may require one.

The Salt Lake County Health Director recommends, regardless of vaccination status or past COVID-19 infection, to wear well-fitting masks when indoors (or queueing outdoors) in public. For optimal protection, Dr. Dunn recommends wearing respirators, such as KN95s, instead of cloth masks, if possible.
