Gov. Spencer Cox has now told state workers they are exempt from new mask mandates for Salt Lake and Summit counties — a move that Salt Lake County's mayor says disregards the health of the community.

I would not expect much by way of intelligence with many GOP leaders, as most are infected with Trumpism. You should expect at the very least a governor who cares about the health and well-being of its citizens rather than anti-human policies promoting toxic recklessness.

We are all equal - it's just that some are more equal than others -

Party over health.

If you're afraid you can still wear a mask. This isn't hard.

Rules for thee, but not for me.

Why would he do this ? We will lose more lives and the ones we seek for help

Everyone is exempt they cannot tell you you have to wear a mask that's like telling you you have to wear a condom that is your choice

Utah may as well be a southern state given the degree of lunacy from some state & local leadership.

Like a socialist giving government handouts to the Virus.

Finally someone with guts!!!!

SpencerJCox what science are you using to make your decision? Please explain. If it is not science, what is it? I hope it's not politics. You can pre-buy hydroxicloriquin but could not do the same for tests, and other treatments?

He’s making me angry 😡 Won’t vote for him ever again. GovCox SpencerJCox Let’s recall him NOW! He obviously doesn’t care about Utah ! govcox

It's not forever and if we can prevent hospitalizations to ease the burden on the healthcare system. We will be saving not just people with C19 but those without. If someone goes in for non-C19 and there is no way to treat them, they can die. What happen to helping out in Utah

We wore masks for 12-18 months. We stayed home for basically a whole year, only going out for groceries or top priority matters. We got vaxxed & boosted as soon as it was available. WE ARE DONE WITH MASKS. It’s on the unvaccinated now if they want to end in the ICU.

But the mayor is out of her mind. Is she really the best possible person Salt Lake City could have found to take that job. If that is true we are all in deep serious trouble.

Not sure why these people think mandates work. Kudos to Cox…. It’s time to move on….

How about the governor lets salt lake and park city make a decision for themselves

Good for our Governor

Yeah for GovCox! At least he understands that this mandate was completely useless and an overreach by JennyWilsonUT.

And yet 1000+ health care workers call in sick...WHAT A SHIT SHOW

I don't see the problem. The mask is a religious symbol at this point -- like a crucifix, except the crucifix it's probably a little more effective -- he's just separating church and state.

💔

For a man who cannot do anything over legislation, he can certainly do A LOT OF DAMAGE to Utahns. He is not leading he is hurting the majority of people...if we could only vote today so he could see how people realllly feel.

Let's go Darwin!

Guess who else is exempt…

Salt Lake County Council won't take vote to overturn mask orderThe Salt Lake County Council will not take a vote to overturn the mask mandate ordered Friday by Dr. Angela Dunn. Excellent! Another mask mandate was long over due. If we only had a mask mandate when New York and LA implemented their mandates. We wouldn’t be seeing record case counts (please do not Google NY or LA’s case counts).
