SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah state leaders say that updated plans intended to help drive economic recovery won’t compromise the health of residents even though the state is experiencing a multi-week rise in cases. Utah Gov. Gary Herbert, a Republican, said Wednesday the increase in cases was somewhat expected because many businesses were allowed to reopen starting in May and restrictions on how many people can gather together have been loosened. He acknowledges that the rise causes “concern and pause.” But Herbert says the state shouldn’t have to choose between keeping people healthy and making plans to reopen businesses and get people back to work.
