Operative words

On May 4, 2021, the Utah Department of Health notified the Utah Legislature that all three thresholds had been met, and the Mayor's March 11, 2020 declaration of local emergency related to COVID-19 automatically terminated, along with all related emergency orders, including the City-wide mask order. On July 1, 2021, the provisions of HB294 were repealed... 2. Face Masks Mandatory in Schools. All staff, visitors, members of the public, teachers, and students attending kindergarten through grade 12 at a public, charter, or private school in Salt Lake City, shall be required to wear a face mask when in any indoor area of the premises, on school-provided transportation, or attending an indoor school-sponsored activity, or outdoors on school premises when social distancing is not possible... 4. Term. This proclamation shall take effect immediately and will be ongoing for thirty (30) days unless an extension is authorized by the Salt Lake City Council by resolution or it is otherwise terminated.

Enforcement

Order with 'the full force and effect of law during the state of emergency' (Utah Code 53-2a-209, recited); City Code 22.03.080

Notes

Recites that Salt Lake City had exceeded two of HB 294's three thresholds (case rate above 191 per 100,000 and COVID ICU utilization above 15 percent) in August 2021 and that ICU occupancy exceeded 87 percent on Aug. 20, 2021; first Utah instrument to reimpose masks in a city's schools after HB 1007
