The Salt Lake County Health Department on Friday released a list of workplaces who have had two or more coronavirus cases — the department’s definition of an outbreak.
In response to a public records request, Salt Lake County omitted the names of nursing homes, day cares, schools and correctional facilities that have had outbreaks, saying they are kept on a different reporting system. Even so, the list includes 565 workplaces that have met the health department’s definition of an outbreak — at least two cases where workers are suspected to have contracted COVID-19 on the job.
