Today on the news, we hear from a Utah-based infectious disease specialist on face masks, and why they are so important in curbing the spread of COVID-19. Plus, our radio partners report on Colorado’s recent statewide mask mandate. It’s still not clear if Utah will also mandate face coverings statewide, but the Governor has implemented a mask requirement for staff and students returning to school.
And (19:00), our media roundup featuring Times-Independent editor Doug McMurdo. We discuss some of their top stories, including updates in the June death at Arches National Park, COVID-19 taking a toll at a Blanding care center, and parent survey results on school reopening. Plus, a modified Moab Music Festival will return in the fall.
