Governor Herbert issues “Stay Safe, Stay Home” directive

Governor Gary Herbert asked Utahns to “stay safe” and “stay home” Friday.

It’s a directive that he says will slow the spread of coronavirus.

“There is no better place than home to stay safe,” he said. The directive means all individuals should stay home as much as possible.

“This is not a shelter in place order, but rather the next step in the Urgent Phase laid out in the Utah Leads Together plan,” a press release from the governor’s office stated.

The directive will be in place until 11:59 p.m. on April 13th.
