• Author: Pace, Levi

"COVID-19 PREVENTION AND TREATMENT stands to benefit from many of Utah's more than 12,000 health-related academic researchers and employees at research, testing, and medical laboratories. In times of nationwide economic uncertainty, Utah's life sciences sector has shown remarkable stability. Utahns welcome its support for our livelihoods as we face the economic fallout from the local effects of the global pandemic."
