All of Utah has “low” rates of network transmission of COVID-19, based on existing research through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the number of positive cases.
Understand the latest trends in Utah COVID-19 with those charts from The Salt Lake Tribune, in the most recent state data:
Current wastewater knowledge shows peak amounts of coronavirus at two of the state’s 34 sites as of April 20, according to the Utah Department of Environmental Quality.
Of the state’s 34 sites, 15 have reported enough viruses to be monitored, meaning it’s imaginable those sites will soon see the highest levels.
Overall, analyses of wastewater trends imply that the amount of COVID-19 has stalled at 21 sites. Four sites reported downward trends in the virus, while 8 sites — near Tremonton, Farmington, Park City, Herriman, Tooele, Provo, Spanish Fork and Cedar City — reported upward trends. One site didn’t get enough knowledge about a trend.
