SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Two Utah lawmakers tested positive Monday for COVID-19, the same day a few anti-mask activists briefly shut down a legislative hearing. The Deseret News reports another lawmaker who has been absent from the session since it began last week has been hospitalized with the disease caused by the coronavirus. A post on the Facebook page of Republican Rep. Jon Hawkins of Pleasant Grove reported his condition late Sunday. Regular testing during the legislative session found two cases: Republican senators Sen. Todd Weiler of Woods Cross and Don Ipson of St. George. Also Monday, a hearing was briefly halted when three activists refused to follow mask rules.
