Fitness information shared Feb. 16 indicates that COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue in Utah.
However, as of this week, all counties still have “low” degrees of COVID-19 network transmission, according to existing research through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the number of positive cases.
Understand the latest trends in Utah COVID-19 with those graphs from The Salt Lake Tribune, in the most recent state data:
Current wastewater knowledge showed maximum amounts of coronavirus at 24 of the state’s 34 sites on Feb. 16, according to the Utah Department of Environmental Quality.
Six discovered enough viruses to be in a “surveillance” state, meaning it’s imaginable that those sites will soon see the highest levels. Four show low levels of the virus.
Overall, analyses of wastewater trends imply that the amount of COVID-19 has stagnated at 24 of those sites. One site reported downward trends in the virus, while seven sites — near Ogden, Layton, Park City, West Jordan, South Jordan and Lehi — reported upward trends. Two sites reported inadequate knowledge of a trend.
