Notes

Recites that 'Orders of Constraint can only be issued during a declared Local Public Health Emergency,' that the Council 'can terminate an Order of Constraint at any time' (Utah Code 26A-1-114(9)(a)), Summit County's 14-day case rate of 249 per 100,000, and the former HB 294 floor of 191 per 100,000; the Council announced it did 'not currently intend to consider termination' (MET-SLC-081)
