Most were outpatients diagnosed with mild-to-moderate symptoms, while others were hospitalized with severe or critical covid-19. All t...

Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins slammed the New York Post on Tuesday for an article that discussed the process of bringing the Gal Gadot-starrer to screen. “Versions of this article seems to be everywhere and not true.

Coronavirus in 2021: A look at Utahs COVID-19 situation to begin the new year – KSL.com

SALT LAKE CITY — We've now entered the 2021 portion of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has already been met with cautious optimism by public health officials for a few reasons.

The Utah Department of Health's immunization leader said last week that despite vaccinations ramping up at the end of 2020, he anticipated there will probably be delays in the state's original timetable for certain groups to receive the vaccine. The health department and other Utah health care experts are still keeping close tabs on the current COVID-19 statistics to see if the December holidays li...

Tuesday's vaccination report showed 140,245 doses of COVID vaccine administered, fewer than 27 percent of vaccines shipped to Michigan by the federal government since the mass inoculations began three weeks ago. But when the doses for nursing homes are added into the total, the p...
