The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Utah continued to rise on Sunday as the state lifts restrictions allowing some nonessential businesses to reopen.
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert (R) placed the state under “moderate risk” protocols starting Friday, allowing certain establishment including gyms and salons to reopen and restaurants to begin offering a dine-in option with precautions in place.
The state is still recording new confirmed COVID-19 cases, however, with a total of 5,175 infections reported as of Sunday.
The Utah Department of Health reported 194 new positive COVID-19 cases on Sunday, which is the largest daily jump in more than a month and the second-largest jump since 203 on April 2, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.
