Currently 95,374 people in northern Utah are fully vaccinated and 204,654 vaccine doses have been administered in the district.

In the last 28 days people who are unvaccinated are at 15.7 times greater risk of dying from COVID-19, 9.7 times greater risk of being hospitalized due to COVID-19 and 3.7 times greater risk of testing positive for COVID-19 than vaccinated people.

As has been the case for weeks 15 percent of all daily new cases in Utah involve school-age children (157 in the Friday report).

As of Friday there are 511 Utahns in hospitals with COVID-19, which is four more than Thursday. There are 196 patients in intensive care, three more than on Thursday. There have been 26,941 hospitalizations in Utah the last 21 months.

More than 57 percent of Utah’s population — 1.875 million — have been fully vaccinated. There were 13,240 people vaccinated since Thursday and over 4.4 million vaccines have been administered since the start of the pandemic.

With 9,301 Utahns tested since Thursday over 4.1 million people have been tested and just over 7.5 million total tests have been administered since the outbreak.

Utah’s new rolling seven-day average for positive tests has dwindled to 1,006 a day.
The new seven-day rolling average for percent positivity of “people over people” is 13.2 percent plus the rolling seven-day average for percent positivity of “tests over tests” is 9.1 percent.
