This is Derek Miller Speaking on Business. As we move from the urgent stage of dealing with the coronavirus and begin to reactive our economy, we must be methodical and focus on maintaining healthy practices. Testing is essential to make informed decisions. Nate Checketts of the Utah Department of Health will tell us more.

Testing is vital to our success in getting back to work. The emphasis on testing, however, does not suggest that we can stop social distancing or practicing necessary hygiene. We must continue to be aware and continue to protect ourselves and others.
Screening employees when they come to work is critical in keeping the workplace safe. Companies need to make sure their employees are not carrying the virus. Employees must support each other is keeping the workplace free from the coronavirus. We recommend that offices designate a point person to monitor, assist, and provide accurate information when questions and concerns arise.
To help employers and employees determine who needs to be tested, we have introduced the “Healthy Together” app, which provides a step-by-step process. To download the app, simply go to coronavirus.utah.gov. You can begin using it today!
