Aundrea Peterson, Utah Senate deputy chief of staff, said Adams plans to attend the first day of the Utah Legislature’s 2022 general session on Tuesday. Adams began feeling symptoms Wednesday night and would finish his five-day quarantine on Monday.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says anyone who tests positive for COVID-19, has no fever after five days and is recovering from any symptoms can leave isolation and should wear a well-fitting mask for five additional days.
