SALT LAKE CITY Utah s number of COVID-19 cases has increased by 2,574 on Wednesday, with 23 more deaths reported, according to the Utah Department of Health.
Wednesday is the second day in a row Utah has reported 23 COVID-19 deaths. The health department now estimates there are 60,472 active cases of the disease in Utah.
Health department state epidemiologist Dr. Angela Dunn told KSL NewsRadio Wednesday that Utah didn t experience a major post-Thanksgiving surge that some health officials were expecting.
Daily case counts in the 4,000-6,000 range were expected after Thanksgiving, so the fact that Utah has reported cases in the 2,000s for the last several days is fantastic, Dunn said.
