Here’s our list of at least 92 Utah schools that have had a COVID-19 outbreak or closed as a precaution

Editor’s note: The Salt Lake Tribune will continue to update this list.

So far this fall, at least 79 schools in Utah have had a coronavirus outbreak — and 13 others have shifted online early to avoid one.

Those 92 have all come in a span of roughly three months after most districts in the state reopened in August at the encouragement of the governor. What’s followed has been a lesson in what can happen when students return to the classroom before COVID-19 is under control.

Most of the schools with outbreaks have been high schools, with 57 total. And at least 31 of those have had more than one outbreak, spurring them to close and reopen and sometimes close again when they hit 15 cases, which the state recommends should trigger a two-week shift to online instruction.

Take a look at the list that The Salt Lake Tribune has compiled. And let us know if your school is missing by emailing ctanner@sltrib.com.
