This @washingtonpost article is misleading. Utah’s medical supply teams and hospital systems were integral to the decision to resume elective procedures. Utah is prepared for a surge with the amount of PPE that has been procured by the state. — PolitiTweet.org

Additionally, under direction of @SpencerJCox , this group recently underwent the process of putting together an extensive survey which shows us that these communities were not receiving many of the state’s messages as best as they could be. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

This has been reinforced by recent data from the state Health Department showing a higher rate of infection for Hispanic and Pacific Islander communities, in particular. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

These are uncertain and trying times for all of us, and the State of Utah is resolved to support all Utahns through this crisis. We all understand the challenges faced within these communities, especially when language barriers exist. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

@dowdyjk @UtahDepOfHealth You can choose to share location and bluetooth data in the app if you want to. If you do, that data will only be available to public health, who will still call you to work through contact tracing and other advice, if you test positive for COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

I hope that you and your loved ones will begin to make use of this app, even in its beta form. Be a part of the solution to create better tools for identifying outbreaks so that we can be more targeted in our response moving forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Combining our robust testing and contact tracing with insights from the Healthy Together app is like giving us binoculars to begin to see the virus more clearly from a distance. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Aggressive testing and tracing is one way of taking the blindfold off. It can help us see better where the virus may be active. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

By participating in Healthy Together, you can play an active and critical role in protecting the people close to you, and everyone in our community. Because the virus is invisible, it feels like we have been battling it awhile blindfolded. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

-Location data will automatically be deleted after 30 days. -Symptom data will be automatically de-identified after 30 days. -Healthy Together will comply with State requirements for data security and encryption. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

We care about the privacy and security of Utahns' data, which is why: - Use of the app is strictly opt-in and voluntary -Users own their data and can delete their data at any time. -Only data that is required to combat COVID-19 will be shared with public health officials. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

It will also help experts at the @UtahDepOfHealth engage in contact tracing, so we can understand where the virus is spreading. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

The app will help you assess your symptoms and connect to the abundant testing resources we've worked so hard to expand. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert
