SALT LAKE CITY — Utah reported another 2,183 COVID-19 cases and nine new deaths Friday in what officials called possibly “artificially low” tallies because of computer maintenance performed Thursday night.
The Utah Department of Health said an additional 11,335 people tested for the novel coronavirus since Thursday and the rolling seven-day average for positive tests is 2,702 per day. The seven-day average for the percent of laboratory tests that are positive is at 26%.
Utah currently has 568 people hospitalized with the virus, raising the total hospitalized to 9,269. There have been 228,129 positive cases reported in the state since the pandemic began in March.
Friday’s death toll brings the total number of Utahns who have died from COVID-19 to 1,025. The state passed the grim milestone of 1,000 deaths on Thursday, and is projected to double that number by mid-February.
