We are working to ensure the vaccine will be distributed in a fair and ethical manner. Healthcare providers on the frontlines will be the priority, but we hope educators and staff in K-12 schools will also be eligible to receive vaccines by the end of December or early January. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, I spoke with General Gustave Perna about vaccine shipment. We are encouraged by the news on this front. Utah will receive 154,600 doses of the vaccine by the end of December. — PolitiTweet.org

Though we rightly concentrate on mortality rates for coronavirus, an oft-overlooked aspect of the virus is the long-term effects. We are learning more every day about the extended long-term effects and dangers of COVID. We must take this pandemic seriously. — PolitiTweet.org

While the case data coming out of Thanksgiving are encouraging, we are not ready to spike the football yet. Please continue to limit your personal social gatherings for the holidays to just those in your household. #utpol #utcovid19 — PolitiTweet.org

Sending my best wishes to Rep. Shurtliff and her family. I’ve always admired her tenacious spirit and determination. Jeanette and I will keep her in our thoughts and prayers. — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing my friend @RepRobBishop well. His passion for public service and boundless wit will be sorely missed when he finishes his final congressional term. May he have a swift and full recovery. — PolitiTweet.org

I have greatly appreciated working with the @saltlakechamber. As we navigate this pandemic, they have been key to helping find ways businesses can adapt and overcome. Their leadership and innovation is central to why Utah is poised for business success. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @UtahGOMB: State agencies have achieved a 35% improvement in quality & efficiency from 2013-2020. Thank you to all of the state's amazin… — PolitiTweet.org

The positive outcomes generated by wearing masks are abundantly clear. Not only do they protect physical health, but they also play a vital role in economic health. This holiday season, let’s all #maskuputah so we can begin the new year strong. #utcovid19 https://t.co/6B1axMopiC https://t.co/BtCXNdHpou — PolitiTweet.org

May we always remember the brave men and women who gave their all in defense of our nation at Pearl Harbor. Their courage and dedication only grows stronger with time. #neverforget — PolitiTweet.org

This is a sad day for Utah, and all those who knew and loved Allyson. She had a special love for the people’s house - and everyone who worked in it. She was enthusiastic, warmhearted, and kind, and the Capitol building will be a little less bright in her absence. https://t.co/mEE2KP4kgK — PolitiTweet.org

Extremely exciting news for Utahns. Though the next several weeks will be challenging, we shouldn’t be discouraged. Thank you to all those at @UtahDepOfHealth who have worked on vaccine acquisition and distribution planning. #utcovid19 — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

There is hope for the future. We are on the verge of having two vaccines being approved by the FDA. This means we can soon begin distributing vaccines in Utah in a fair, ethical, and transparent way. You can view our plan here: https://t.co/Tovukx7vIV — PolitiTweet.org

I appreciate our hospital employees and healthcare providers. They are overworked but still manage to do a tremendous job. Teachers have also shouldered a heavy burden. We are grateful for their efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Coming off the Thanksgiving weekend, we saw lower case numbers. Many people changed their typical plans and met only with those in their household. But, we are beginning to see increases in infections as more data begins to come in from the holiday. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

As a result, we are still maintaining the statewide mask mandate. Numerous studies have affirmed the positive impact of mask-wearing. Masks not only help to prevent the spread but also are good for our economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Though we are 9 months into the pandemic, we will soon be facing some of our toughest challenges yet. The coming days will be critical for how we handle the virus. #utpol #utcovid19 — PolitiTweet.org

Happy to be in D.C. today for meetings with Congress and federal leaders on a variety of topics. We’re blessed with members of Congress who work hard and represent Utah well. Between meetings we visited the beautiful Washington Monument. #utpol https://t.co/4wnfI3u8PX — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Benson served respectfully and was a great example of dedication and sacrifice. His presence on the bench will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family as they mourn his passing. https://t.co/4M8cPDjHos — PolitiTweet.org

This Thanksgiving, I #givethanks for my wonderful family. Raising children alongside Jeanette has been one of my greatest joys. I am blessed to have such a wonderful family whose love and support have been constant. I am eternally grateful for their presence in my life. https://t.co/beXgNIviYF — PolitiTweet.org

Great article by @Gochnour on Utah’s consistently impressive economic performance. Whether you measure before or during the pandemic, our state is always finding ways to improve outcomes for all. #utpol #utecon https://t.co/Ds7BBAABsu — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

I’m grateful today for all the business people in Utah helping to lead us into recovery. Despite economic uncertainty, you have continued to innovate and adapt. This industrial spirit is astounding to witness and is why I’m so excited and optimistic about our future. #givethanks https://t.co/i32sgnuWRO — PolitiTweet.org

The way we celebrate Thanksgiving this week will have a huge impact on the trajectory on the outbreak of COVID-19 in Utah. The safest celebration is only with those who live under your roof. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

The valiant efforts of school teachers during the pandemic can't be lauded enough. I'm grateful for their creativity and dedication to ensure our kids stay engaged in the pursuit of learning. Now more than ever, we value your remarkable expertise and commitment. #givethanks — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

I am deeply grateful for Utah's healthcare workforce — doctors, nurses, cleaning staff, social workers, and many many others. They are exhausted but they keep going. They're modern heroes and we owe them our thanks and best efforts to make their jobs easier. #givethanks https://t.co/fAt73iOQky — PolitiTweet.org

Today we are also announcing that at midnight tonight, the Transmission Index guidance system will be re-implemented, following the end of our two-week circuit breaker. You can find more about the return to the Transmission Index here: https://t.co/PSrxAHIOph — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

We are asking Utahns to do this because we know the more people you gather with, the greater your risk for contracting the virus. We cannot beat COVID if we celebrate the holidays as we normally do. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

This Thanksgiving will be unlike any other. This year, the best way to show your family and friends you love them is by staying home and having a private celebration with those you live with — instead of gathering in larger groups. #utpol #utcovid19 https://t.co/fvnfWUtfjL — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Today, I want to express my gratitude to the people of Utah for their patience and desire help one another during difficult times. Our great state was founded upon the notion of helping your neighbor, and I am thankful to see so many exhibiting that dedication today. #givethanks — PolitiTweet.org
