(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Masks are a common sight in Salt Lake City on Friday, Dec. 11, 2020. The Utah Department of Health on Friday reported a seven-day average of 2,702 new positive test results per day — below last week’s rate of nearly 3,000.

Our nephew died of COVID-19. He had no co-morbidities, spent six weeks on a ventilator and had good care. 

Please wear a mask and distance and urge others to. We have more family and friends out there, where you are. Thanks.
