The Central Utah Public Health Department (CUPHD) was notified by the Utah Department of Health on Monday October 12 that the previously reported COVID-19 death of a Millard County resident was incorrectly attributed to Millard County. “Thanks to notifications from a few individuals regarding the residence discrepancies, we were able to get the State Health Department to look into their report further, and determine this was not a Millard County resident.” said Nate Selin, CUPHD’s Health Officer.

CUPHD is notified of COVID-19 related deaths by the Utah Department of Health only following a review by the State Medical Examiner’s Office and the state health department. In this case, the address of the deceased individual was recorded as a Millard County address in the state report; however, that information was determined to be inaccurate. The information has now been corrected in the state report and will be updated on the CUPHD website.
