Utah health guidance levels
COVID-19 Transmission Index
The COVID-19 Transmission Index represents the collaborative work of state and local public health, the Governor’s Office, the hospital industry, business leaders, and important guidance from legislative leadership on the elements of the approach to protect communities.
The index uses defined public health metrics to determine which counties are placed in which transmission level. Counties will be placed in one of three transmission levels: High, Moderate, or Low. These levels correspond directly to case rates, positivity rates, and ICU utilization.
The index serves as an advisory tool for the steps individuals and businesses can take to help limit the spread of COVID-19 in their communities.
