A reminder to Utahns for the upcoming holiday: We’re asking that you gather only with those in your immediate household. The safest gathering is with those you live with. #utcovid19 — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Though workforce reduction is still a reality everywhere, Utah has maintained its high standing as one of the states experiencing the fewest losses. This strong position will serve as a great launchpad for Utah to be one of the first to experience economic expansion. #utecon — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: Last week I participated in a press event with @EPARegion8 and @UtahDEQ discussing Utah’s air quality. Although we've made significant strides improving our air over the last decade and reached attainment levels, we shouldn't slow down. #AirQuality https://t.co/NoNMtmaEya — PolitiTweet.org

During my monthly news conference with @pbsutah this morning, I shared guidelines on how Utahns can safely enjoy the upcoming holiday season. We want all to be able to celebrate in a safe fashion. The safest celebration is with only those you live with. https://t.co/ozw6O0zliu https://t.co/LN9lr6OfjZ — PolitiTweet.org

There is light at the end of this tunnel, but we need to continue exercising precautions. Wear a mask and socially distance whenever possible. #AllinUT https://t.co/QbZr4n8PCU — PolitiTweet.org

Grateful for the important work being done by @UtahDepofHealth on vaccine distribution planning. We’ve now heard of two vaccines with about 95% effectiveness — and we anticipate delivering the first doses of vaccine next month. #utpol #utcovid19 — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

The rising surge of coronavirus cases necessitates we each do our part to slow the spread. Together, let’s wear masks, limit our social gatherings, and ensure physical distancing. Just as in times past, we will lead each other through difficult challenges. #AllinUT https://t.co/NyBH39QxNu — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Over the next two weeks, I plead with you to be patient. It takes at least two weeks before we can see any effect on our trends. If we are all invested in slowing the spread, I do believe we can reverse our course. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

To review recent changes: 1⃣: Masks are mandated statewide. 2⃣: Limit your casual social gatherings to people you live with. 3⃣: Most high school sports and extracurricular activities are paused for two weeks. 4⃣: We are ramping up testing for college students. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

We absolutely need to stop this alarming trend. We know that about 4.5 to 5 percent of people who test positive for COVID-19 will end up in the hospital. If we continue doubling the number of cases, we will continue the surge into our hospitals, which are already overwhelmed. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Today is yet another concerning day for COVID-19 spread in Utah. If you look back in time, it took 9.5 weeks to get from 35,000 to 70,000 cases. It took just 6.5 weeks to get from 70,000 to 140,000. This reality has had a real effect on our hospitals. #utpol #utcovid19 — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

On this #VeteransDay, may we all unite in gratitude for the veterans across Utah who have served our state and nation. Whether at home or abroad, their valiant efforts have been fundamental to our security. On behalf of all Utahns, we thank you for your service. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Our new restrictions are based on data and are constitutional. Individual freedom is important — and the rule of law protects that freedom. Laws keep us safe. That's why we have speed limits and traffic lights, and why we now have a mask mandate in place. https://t.co/vFHPAVoyd7 — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

One easy step you can take to help our fight against COVID-19 is getting your flu shot. With influenza season beginning, it's important we work to preserve hospital space. By getting vaccinated, you are protecting your own health and the health of our community. #HealthyInUtah https://t.co/83hLJRDwPl — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Though we aren't celebrating Veterans Day this year in typical fashion, we still can take steps to honor and thank those who have so nobly served our nation. Call and thank a veteran you know or contact @Utah_DVMA to learn how you can express your gratitude. #HonorUtahVeterans — PolitiTweet.org

Great thread on the Q&A we hosted with the media this morning about our updated COVID-19 response. For more information on the new State of Emergency and restrictions, visit https://t.co/4yUgrOIVcI #utcovid19 #utpol — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

In my 11 years as governor, I have seen Utahns do remarkable things. We have overcome extraordinary challenges and great adversity. I implore you now to do all you can to stop the spread. It is time for Utahns to unite in this response and bring healing back to our state. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Some of the significant new changes include: - The entire state being placed under a mask mandate until further notice - Casual social gatherings being limited to household-only for the next 2 weeks - All extracurricular activities being temporarily put on hold #utcovid19 — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Due to the alarming rate of COVID infections within our state, tonight I issued a new state of emergency with several critical changes to our response. These changes are not shutting down our economy, but are absolutely necessary to save lives and hospital capacity. #utpol https://t.co/BuSNBsCbiz — PolitiTweet.org
