This comes on the heels of an announcement Friday by Intermountain Healthcare that they will suspend most non-emergency surgeries as they grapple with an “unsustainable” number of mostly unvaccinated COVID-19 patients.
The health department reported school-aged children to account for 544 of today’s newly announced cases.
• 210 cases in children ages 5-10
• 155 cases in children ages 11-13
