SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) – As COVID-19 community infections continue in a downward trend, Utah will be making big changes to its testing site throughout the state.
The Utah Department of Health (UDOH) will be closing many testing sites permanently at the end of the month.
“As the state of Utah transitions to a Steady State response to the pandemic, the Utah Department of Health (UDOH) will transition to a more long-term, sustainable response,” officials say.
“Testing is still an important tool for many Utahns who may benefit from treatments,” says UDOH. Those who should continue to get tested include:
- Those with significant underlying conditions. Getting tested gives these people who test positive a chance to be considered for treatments like monoclonal antibodies or antiviral pills.
- If you’re going to visit someone who is vulnerable (for example people over 75 years, immunocompromised, receiving immunosuppressive medication)
- If you’ve been sick but are getting better and want to confirm you are negative
- If you’re traveling somewhere that requires a negative test
- Elderly population
- Those who work with vulnerable populations including healthcare workers, long-term care facility employees, people living or working in congregate settings including prisons and homeless shelters.
