Of those, a total of 369,433 have tested positive for COVID-19. That’s an increase of 832 new positive cases since Wednesday’s report.
The rolling 7-day average for positive tests is 723 per day.
The rolling 7-day average for percent positivity of “people over people” is 12.4%. The rolling 7-day average for percent positivity of “tests over tests” is 5.7%.
Hospitalizations
There are currently 221 people hospitalized with confirmed cases of COVID-19, and 87 of those people are in intensive care units. Another 27 patients are hospitalized with suspected cases of COVID-19.

Referral Centers are the 16 hospitals in Utah with the capability to provide the best care for patients with COVID-19. Because most patients are transferred to these facilities, their utilization is the best reflection of the true hospital capacity in Utah when looking at ICU beds.
