GRANTSVILLE, Utah (AP) — Tooele County has issued an order to close a local amphitheater in northern Utah, blocking a planned concert sponsored by activists opposed to coronavirus-related restrictions. The Tooele County Board of Health, the County Commission and the county health officer all issued a closure order Wednesday to the Amphitheater at Studio Ranch owner Jason Manning, who was scheduled to host the concert. The planned concert violates Republican Gov. Gary Herbert’s guidelines prohibiting mass gatherings to combat the spread of COVID-19. Manning declined comment on if the concert would continue. Concert organizer Eric Moutsos said in a Facebook post it is still happening. Criminal charges can be filed if the concert proceeds.
