Gov. Spencer Cox pleaded with unvaccinated Utahns to get the COVID-19 vaccine on July 1 as the state experienced a surge in cases and braced for the July 4 weekend. State health officials reported a seven-day average of 384 coronavirus cases per day this week, up from 324 cases per day last week and 213 cases per day last month. Many of the new cases are made up of the COVID-19 Delta variant, which Cox said is “more transmissible” than the RICK EGAN PHOTOS, THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE original virus strain. Gov. Spencer Cox answers questions during the governor’s COVID-19 briefing at the Utah Capitol on July 1. “We are seeing an uptick, as you have noticed, not only in case counts, but in hospitaliza- now dead, or who are now hostions,” Cox said at the July 1 press pitalized or who have long-term briefing. effects as COVID long-haulers.” The governor noted that, since “There’s just literally no more vaccines became publicly avail- excuses for the death and hospiable, 93% of cases have been talization that we are seeing,” the among unvaccinated people, governor said.
