SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah’s state epidemiologist is warning state leaders that a rapid spread of the coronavirus could force hospitals to run out of intensive care beds next month and may require reinstating some restrictions that were lifted last month. In a memo sent Friday, epidemiologist Angela Dunn wrote to state leaders including Republican Gov. Gary Herbert that the state is getting to the point where the only option to manage spread and prevent deaths is a complete shutdown. Herbert’s office said in a statement he shares Dunn’s concerns and leaders are meeting this week to discuss how to address the surge in cases.
