Continued from A-1 Testing surge to keep people at home to prevent another surge of the virus. Officials are targeting May 1 for issuing a new public health order that eases some of the restrictions currently in place. Bullough said that the county’s plan to gradually reopen the economy starting around that date closely resembles Gov. Gary Herbert’s plan, and pointed t es you to suppor lliance encourag A ity y.

Health officials will likely seek an increased amount of testing to gauge the effects of increased social mixing that come from opening the economy to see if that has led to more spread of the disease. While another 1,100-test day is unlikely, Bullough said the state’s testing capacity has been improving, estimating it can process 4,000-6,000 tests daily. That’s a notable improvement compared to even three weeks ago, he said. Bullough added that next fall may prove challenging if it brings a resurgence of the new coronavirus. “Virtually every model that I’ve looked at suggests a couple of things: One of them is, we are going to have a resurgence; the other is that resurgence may align itself with influenza, the traditional influenza season.” He said that would present an entirely different burden to the local health care system and that the impacts would likely be significant. The Health Department is already preparing for the fall, he said, working to put plans in place and to make sure equipment levels are sufficient. The hope is that, with enough data, the department could trace a spike in cases to a specific cause or business sector and not have to react with broad measures that impact the entire economy.
