Dear Box Elder County,

In regards to the Governor's press conference this week, Box Elder County will be transitioning from the red 'high risk' stage to the orange 'moderate risk' starting Friday, May 1st at midnight, and will last two weeks. At the end of the two weeks, the state will reevaluate the case number and determine our next course of action.

We, like many of you, are eager to get our economy moving. We want to see everyone in our county return to their everyday routines as soon as possible. However, your safety is our priority, and we encourage you to continue to use safety precautions as we enter this first step in the stabilization stage. Within this orange, 'moderate risk' phase, there are still restrictions placed on businesses and individuals. Below we have attached the Governor's plan in full as well as an overview for the general public. 

We encourage you to follow these guidelines to keep yourself and others safe. We must keep our case numbers down. That way, we can move to the next phase in two weeks. 

As a commission, we are here for you. We are working to keep you as up to date as possible. We thank you and your families for helping us to get to this point in our county. Box Elder County has done a fantastic job keeping case numbers down and supporting one another. Please continue to support each other during this time and responsibly enjoy the reopening of businesses across the county.


Best Regards,

The Box Elder County Commission
