SALT LAKE CITY — Utah health officials reported 433 new COVID-19 cases and two additional deaths on Saturday.
The cases were confirmed out of 4,249 people tested, with a 10.2% positive rate, according to the Utah Department of Health.
Since the pandemic began, 54,272 people have tested positive for the disease out of 683,965, an overall positive rate of 7.9%.
The rolling seven-day average for new cases is 406 per day, and the average positive test rate is 9.4%. Currently, 120 patients are hospitalized with COVID-19 in Utah, one fewer than on Friday. Nearly 3,200 have required hospital care for the disease in the state since the start of the outbreak.
Though two new deaths were reported Saturday, a previous death was removed from the state’s COVID-19 death toll for further investigation. The latest deaths were a Salt Lake County man between 65-84, and a San Juan County man between 45-64, both of whom were hospitalized when they died.
Just under 45,900 of the state’s are considered recovered after surviving the three-week point since their diagnosis, meaning about 8,400 cases are still active.
