Announcing their phased reopening plan for Grand County, the Southeast Utah Health Department said they expect an increase in COVID-19 cases appearing with renewed visitation. However, from testing to medical supplies, they say they are better prepared for whatever comes. We spoke with Health Officer Bradon Bradford and Environmental Health Director Orion Rodgers to learn more about the decision to partially reopen Grand County to tourism. And later in the news, a walk down a local canyon during a time of social distance. Moab Solutions’ Sara Melnicoff weighs in on silence, restoration, and caring for people and planet.
