Today marked a somber record for case counts in Utah. I am deeply concerned COVID exhaustion is at an all-time high. I want to remind everyone that by public health order, masks are required in 21 counties. Now more than ever, we need you to follow our guidance. #utcovid19 — PolitiTweet.org

As always, I was grateful for the opportunity to interact with the media this morning. Many of our reporters do an excellent job being accurate and thorough in their work. It is critical we maintain this healthy relationship to disseminate information to the public. https://t.co/k3WJgTWv8Y — PolitiTweet.org

We know there are many who are willing to wear a mask and limit their social gatherings in order to protect the vulnerable around them. But in order for us to be successful, everyone must buy in. — PolitiTweet.org

I ask Utahns to not just lean on your own experience during this pandemic. Learn from the science and examples you see. You don’t have to wait until you personally experience a crisis with COVID-19 before you realize you could have done more. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Our hospitals are being overwhelmed and the stress they are experiencing is unsustainable. This is why we have required masks in high and moderate transmission areas and also asked residents in these areas to limit gatherings to 10 or fewer. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

It is nearsighted to assume that your experience with the virus is the only one happening. These are narrow points of view and we must change how we perceive this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

We don’t dispute that most people won’t die from COVID-19 and know many who get infected won’t have severe symptoms. BUT, we know many people with coronavirus will have long term impacts on their heart and lungs. Already, too many Utahns have succumbed to the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Many Utahns have been taking this virus seriously and are abiding by precautionary measures. But some who haven’t seen the full range of ill effects coronavirus can have are unaware of the issues it causes within our medical and business communities. #utpol #utcovid19 — PolitiTweet.org

In a recent study by @wallethub, Utah was named the most energy-efficient state in the nation. Continuing to invest in sustainable energy infrastructure will pay dividends for both our environment and consumers’ pockets. #UtahEnergy @UtahOED https://t.co/6OGVJn2Pup — PolitiTweet.org

It’s no secret the nascent tech-focused “new economy” will be central to every state’s success moving forward. Utah’s economic dynamism and emphasis on the tech industry will ensure our preparedness to navigate this new age while innovating along the way. #utecon #utpol — PolitiTweet.org

Very sorry to hear that we lost Ed Firmage. He was a friend of mine — a great intellect, and a sage. He always had the courage to speak up at times when it really mattered. He will be greatly missed. https://t.co/Px6ySv7Sn9 — PolitiTweet.org

Jeanette and I were saddened to hear of Jamie Redford’s passing, and we send our sincere condolences to our friends Robert, Bylle, & Lola Van Wagenen, & the entire Redford family. While Jamie will be missed both in and out of the art industry, his contributions will continue on. — PolitiTweet.org

A reminder to all Utahns: Casual social gatherings are frequent sources of spread for COVID-19. Under our new transmission index, we ask people in high or moderate (until after 10/29) transmission areas to limit these gatherings to 10 or fewer. #utcovid19 https://t.co/LPKfEBs5MX — PolitiTweet.org

Fantastic news regarding standardized testing. Of every state who tests all high school students with the ACT, Utah returned the highest average score. College readiness is vital and it is paramount we provide our students with the tools they need to succeed. #uted https://t.co/gvIOc8DkZc — PolitiTweet.org

Great thread on the work being done by @UtahCorrections to keep state prison inmates safe and their loved ones informed. Corrections officers are often the unsung heroes of law enforcement and I’m grateful for their work safely reintegrating offenders into our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

With waning economic prosperity across the nation, I was glad to see Utah ranked as having the best middle class in America. Utahns can count on their state government to continue promulgating policy promoting economic mobility and security for all #utecon https://t.co/7KxDZO7BF9 https://t.co/7p8FfhOAUm — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday we took important progressive steps in our state’s fight against COVID. Our new approach focuses on data-driven decisions along three key metrics. Read more about our new framework and associated guidelines here: https://t.co/PSrxAHIOph #utpol — PolitiTweet.org

.@UtahDepOfHealth will also issue a Public Health Order that all persons living in High and Moderate Transmission Areas limit casual social gatherings to 10 individuals or fewer, for a period of two weeks — beginning Thursday, October 15. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Masks are required if you live in a High Transmission Area. For the next two weeks, the Department of Health is also directing they be worn in Moderate Transmission Areas. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Public gatherings can be held in all transmission levels, but masks are always required. (This covers things like performing venues, weddings, religious services, and sporting events.) Additional distancing requirements are in place, depending on the transmission level. — PolitiTweet.org

Casual social gatherings are limited to the following sizes: -High Transmission Areas: 10 or fewer -Moderate Transmission Areas: 25 or fewer, unless masks are worn. -Low Transmission Areas: 50 or fewer, unless masks are worn — PolitiTweet.org
