Rep Lou Shurtliff was a wonderful teacher and public servant. This is a sad day for all who had the very good luck to know her or work with her. Jeanette and I extend our heartfelt sympathy to her loved ones. — PolitiTweet.org

Serving as governor of Utah for the past 11 1/2 years has been the honor and privilege of my professional life. I love this state and all its good people. As I end my final term, know that I possess great hope and expectations for our future. God bless the great state of Utah. https://t.co/KZqGoKwQx1 — PolitiTweet.org

Very saddened to learn of Ty Jordan’s passing. This is a great loss for the University of Utah, for our community and state, and for his family and friends. Our prayers are with them tonight. — PolitiTweet.org

Grateful to all who worked to bring about this win for Utah Navajo Tribe members. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m so pleased the Navajo Utah Water Rights Settlement Act passed Congress. This was a priority for many, including @NNPrezNez @NNVP_Lizer @SenatorRomney @RepJohnCurtis @RepRobBishop @RepBenMcAdams @SecBernhardt. #utpol https://t.co/ikeS09rB40 — PolitiTweet.org

Today is a good day. Glad to see Congress provide for COVID-19 relief funding - and pass the Navajo Utah Water Rights Settlement Act. #utpol https://t.co/k71uOVY4Dz — PolitiTweet.org

With the arrival of a vaccine, we’re beginning to see daylight at the end of the tunnel. But we cannot yet relax protocols. Mask-wearing, proper hygiene, and social distancing need to continue. If we maintain these efforts, I’m confident 2021 will be a great year. #AllinUT — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

If either individual was NOT wearing a mask at the time of exposure, the current quarantine protocols still apply. Schools should do contact tracing to determine whether masks were worn and ensure close contacts are carefully monitoring potential symptoms. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

The data shows us if both people were wearing masks, it qualifies as a low-risk exposure. We believe this policy provides a safe opportunity for students to continue accessing in-person classroom learning. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Additionally, we are changing quarantine guidelines for those in schools. If a person is in close contact with someone who tests positive AND both people were wearing masks, the person in close contact no longer needs to quarantine. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

The owners of bars and restaurants have committed to making their establishments safe places. They will enforce physical distancing, limit capacity, and also enforce mask-wearing when people are not actively eating or drinking. #utpol — PolitiTweet.org

Coronavirus has undoubtedly been difficult for those in our hospitality industry, particularly for bar and restaurant owners. Having recently met with the Utah Restaurant Association, I am announcing we will remove the restriction on alcohol sales after 10 p.m. effective tomorrow — PolitiTweet.org

Tune in to @kslnewsradio later today for my final appearance on Let Me Speak to the Governor. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to engage with Utahns on important issues.

It was my great privilege today to join with leaders from our state and multicultural communities to sign a compact on Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. This compact signifies our commitment as a state to principles of equality, engagement, and action. #utpol https://t.co/amtgyp8r4q — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoyed meeting with students at Deerfield Elementary this morning and discussing the role of state government. As future leaders and innovators, it’s important we provide them with a robust educational foundation. Thank you to our teachers for doing such great work! #uted https://t.co/GF17VQKoPO — PolitiTweet.org

The vaccine news should be encouraging to all. Kudos to the medical researchers, lab technicians, and staff who worked around the clock to make this happen. But we can't let our guard down yet. Wear a mask and socially distance to keep people around you safe. #utpol #utcovid19 — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #CentenarianDay to the 159 Utahns who have entered the Centenarian Club! Gathering with our centenarians to celebrate this milestone has been one of my favorite traditions as governor.

Despite the hardships of the pandemic, Utah’s high school students have shown incredible determination to succeed. 2020 marked the 8th straight year public high school graduation increased. I’m grateful for all the educators and students making this positive trend happen. #uted https://t.co/8xyq0tYMph — PolitiTweet.org
