Health officials have hope but urge continued caution

As of Dec. 9, Grand County has an average positive test rate of around 21.13% and 42 active COVID-19 cases, as reported by the Southeast Utah Health Department. Early on in the pandemic, public health officials were concerned that high levels of travel and tourism in Moab could lead to significant infections. Though the area is currently seeing a spike in cases following a statewide trend, the region has only seen a total of 340 cases since the pandemic began—significantly lower than neighboring counties.
“Early and concrete actions early on saved us from a really challenging spring,” said Dr. Dylan Cole, the Chief Medical Officer at Moab Regional Hospital. “The situation could have been much more akin to what our surrounding counties and other resort communities experienced early on.”
