When the pandemic first hit, Sarah Holt worked nonstop, running on adrenaline and buoyed by the cheers, songs and free coffee and pizza for health-care workers at Utah s Intermountain Medical Center, where she s a registered nurse.
Several months in, she learned firsthand what it s like to battle covid-19 - she and her husband contracted the coronavirus, isolating for three weeks in the fall. Like countless other health-care workers, she went back to the grind of treating patients once she tested negative and felt better.

DRAPER – Tuesday was an exciting but nerve-racking day for a Corner Canyon High School teacher who returned to the classroom for the first time since ending up in the intensive care unit with COVID-19.
Just over four months ago, Charri Jensen was fighting for her life hooked up to a ventilator. But on Tuesday, she walked into her Corner Canyon classroom just after 7 a.m. Home away from home, Jensen said in a coworker s video. I haven t been here in over four and a half months. I love this place.
It was back on Sept. 10 when Jensen tested positive for the virus. Days later, she was on a ventilator fighting for her life in the ICU. No one knew if she was going to make it.
