SUMMIT COUNTY, Utah — Summit County is now listed under the high level on the Utah Department of Health’s (UDOH) COVID-19 transmission index.

Earlier this week, TownLift reported that the county had been downgraded to the moderate level. The only counties in Utah not under the ‘high level’ are Daggett, Rich, and Piute.

Case counts have been inconsistent the past few weeks in Summit County.

84% of eligible individuals in Summit County have completed their vaccine series, which far outpaces the rest of the state.

The Summit County Health Department is offering free, rapid Covid tests on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays.
