Operative words

Governor Gary Herbert and Governor Spencer Cox declared a state of emergency. In light of the Governor's declaration, and to protect the public and all court participants, the Utah Judiciary continues to implement its Pandemic Response Plan.... Beginning June 7, 2021, all courts may operate in the Yellow phase if their risk response plan has been approved by the Management Committee.... All districts and individual court locations must give priority to resuming in court proceedings that are not capable of being held remotely, such as jury trials.... Except for the May 21, 2021 Administrative Order ending the mask mandate, today's Order entirely replaces all preceding administrative orders.... This Order provides directives the courts must follow during Red and Yellow phases
