Having received Salt Lake City’s request to move from orange to yellow yesterday, I am pleased to announce we are granting that request. Moving to a lower level of restriction will afford more flexibility in bringing people back to work, while still keeping residents safe. #utpol — PolitiTweet.org

On this #VJDay, we look back with utmost gratitude on the men and women who served this nation during WWII. Thousands of Utahns answered the clarion call to service, and I am proud of their courage and bravery. As we battle coronavirus, may we embody their stalwart sacrifice. https://t.co/7hyeoHihjf — PolitiTweet.org

I appreciate this important message from @SpencerJCox. Many Utahns still need to respond to the Census, particularly in our multicultural communities. An accurate Census count ensures proper funding and representation. Visit https://t.co/PHa2pvb5OK to be counted. #2020Census https://t.co/2jitvoJTIQ — PolitiTweet.org

Research by @GoLendEDU has indicated Utah holds the lowest average student debt in the country and also posted a nation-best 15.75% reduction in debt from 2019 to 2020. I am grateful for the work done by our colleges and universities to make this accomplishment possible. #uted https://t.co/6arItIImQT — PolitiTweet.org

I am grateful for everyone involved in state finances and budget that make recognition like this possible. Our regular stress-testing allows for better management during an economic recession, no matter the cause. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m encouraged to see our unemployment numbers, case counts, and hospitalizations continuing to fall. I ask Utahns to continue practicing common-sense behaviors so that these positive trends may continue. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Please remember there are some people who have underlying health conditions who cannot tolerate the effects of COVID-19. We wear our masks for them. We maintain physical distancing for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

If you are experiencing COVID symptoms, I ask that you get tested. Testing plays an important role in keeping our communities safe by helping us track the spread of the virus. Every positive test gives us a chance to provide specific health guidance to that individual. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Living through a pandemic is not something any of us have had to do. It’s been challenging and uncertain. We mourn with those families who have lost loved ones too soon. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

I’m also grateful to our teachers for their rigorous preparation to teach our students. They have gone above and beyond in not only preparing lesson plans for in person and online learning, but also preparing classrooms to keep students as safe as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

As we begin school, our students are teaching us much about resilience and making the best of the situation. They are leading the way in showing preparedness to do what is necessary to keep school in session. — PolitiTweet.org

The goal of our COVID response is to protect lives and livelihoods. While Utah has one of the lowest mortality rates and the lowest jobless rate in the nation, we still have a lot of work to do to get through this pandemic. Together, we can preserve life and rebuild our economy. — PolitiTweet.org

I had the opportunity to visit today with @CityofStgeorge officials to survey the damage caused by severe thunderstorms. Response teams have done a tremendous job responding to the flooding and enabling roads to be reopened. #utwx https://t.co/fz6Mb7AfQj — PolitiTweet.org

Utah continues to be a trailblazer on economic recovery. For the month of July, we posted the lowest unemployment rate in the nation and sustained the second-fewest job losses. As a state, we will continue making prudent decisions to protect lives and livelihoods. #UtahJobs https://t.co/tEEOOb25tB — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks the beginning of the 6th special session of the 63rd legislature. I look forward to working in tandem with legislators to address the continued challenges presented by the pandemic. #utleg https://t.co/kN4IUEjLE0 — PolitiTweet.org

The nature of a pandemic is fluid and requires constant adaptation. We are still very much in an emergency situation, and I will continue to work as governor to protect lives and livelihoods. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Today, I am also announcing a new state of emergency that will take effect tonight upon the expiration of our current one. Without this legal status, the state will lose access to significant federal funding. #utpol — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

This wasn’t intended to be their sole supply for the year, as districts and charters have also received CARES Act funding to acquire PPE. If districts need more, they can make a request to their county emergency manager who will work with state officials as we support what we can — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Some teachers have expressed concerns about a lack of PPE in their classrooms. Seeing these concerns, our Unified Command decided to provide 5 KN95 masks and 2 face shields to every teacher and staff member in the state as a supplement to existing supply. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Reopening our schools has not been devoid of challenges. But we are confident districts have smart and flexible plans established that foster productive learning while also protecting students and staff. — PolitiTweet.org
