COVID-19 Message from Mayor & Council
May 6, 2020
Greetings Citizens of Payson,
We are going through some challenging times. The Covid-19 virus has caused considerable disruption of our everyday lives. It has caused the delay and outright cancellation of time-honored activities.
We will get through these challenges as we continue to be vigilant in the fight against this virus. We will get back to normal, hopefully one that is not too far from the normal we know.
There has been some confusion about the Utah County Health Departments statement that we are experiencing a spike in Covid-19 cases (Hot Spot).
The Payson City Manager Dave Tuckett and I have been in close contact with the Utah County Health Director Ralph Clegg. He re-emphasized today that the Utah County Health Department has not shut down a business in Payson due to coronavirus concerns. The two business that were shut down in Utah County were not located in Payson. In addition, Dr. Angela Dunn, Utah State Epidemiologist reported today at the Governor’s Press Conference, that the two businesses that were shut down in Utah County do not interact with the general public.
We are experiencing a spike in positive tests for the virus. The state and county health departments are reacting to that spike appropriately. We are working hard to keep up with the correct information given to us from Utah County and the State of Utah.
Please continue to observe the directives Governor Herbert and his task force have recommended. As we do we will move from Orange to Yellow and eventually to Green, the goal we all want to achieve.
Stay Safe,
Mayor Bill Wright
