Actor steps in, religious outreach curbed amid coronavirus

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — “Modern Family” actor Ty Burrell is stepping in to help people forced out of work by the coronavirus in Salt Lake City while The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is further restricting its missionary activities. The moves came Friday as Utah’s total number of cases jumped to 112, marking the largest single day jump so far. No deaths have been reported. The Utah-based faith sent a substantial, though unspecified, number of missionaries around the world back to their home countries and training will now be provided online. Amid widespread nightlife closures, Burrell has given $100,00 to fund grants for workers.
