SALT LAKE CITY — Utah will soon close many of its state-sponsored COVID-19 testing sites and stop reporting case counts each day as cases continue to rapidly decline into spring.

Health officials reported 255 new COVID-19 cases since Friday, as well as four additional deaths.

The state confirmed 112 cases on Friday, 87 cases on Saturday and 65 cases on Sunday, according to the data. Nine previously-reported cases were removed from the case tally after further examination. School-age children accounted for 32 of the new cases reported on Monday.

State health officials also noted they will discontinue releasing new COVID-19 statistics each day on March 31. Then, case counts will be updated each week on Thursday, at the coronavirus dashboard page.
