  • Utah will stop releasing daily case data.

  • Gov. Spencer Cox made the announcement Friday and said some people could stand to take it less seriously.

  • According to the latest state data, the state averages over 1,000 daily new COVID-19 cases.

Utah will stop releasing daily COVID-19 case data and close many testing sites as the state's Republican governor says some people could take the virus less seriously.

"Let me be clear that this is not the end of carbon dioxide," Gov. Spencer Cox said during a news briefing on Friday. He said that it is the beginning of treating COVID as we do other seasonal respiratory viruses.

He said that unvaccinated and high-risk individuals need to be aware of the issue. Cox said that there are people who could take this disease less seriously.

It is time to adapt. Cox said that all of the key metrics were moving in the right direction.

Cox said that by the end of March, Utah will no longer treat the COVID-19 pandemic like an emergency.

Over the past two years, there has been almost nothing in our daily lives that hasn't experienced some sort of change.

The state will report caseloads on a weekly basis and there will be a decrease in media briefings.

The director of the state health department said that future testing will rely on healthcare systems and that many testing sites will be shut down.

Cox highlighted the state's ability to fight the virus like vaccines, anti-viral pills and at- home testing after living in a Pandemic for two years.

According to the latest state data, the Utah has averaged a little over 1,000 daily new COVID-19 cases over the past seven days.

According to the data, that average is down from a peak of over 10,700 daily new cases in mid-January amid a nationwide surge of the Omicron variant.

According to the data, the state has seen a decrease in new hospital admissions in the last week.

Utah has averaged over three new COVID-19 deaths per day over the past week. The state averaged more deaths per day during the winter 2014–2018.

According to the state, roughly 60 percent of the population has been fully vaccined.
