The University of Utah took a similar stance on Thursday, calling for masks in all university-operated buildings until the end of the academic year.
While Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall announced an extension of the mask mandate in the state capital, met by Salt Lake County officials who said it would not be enforced anywhere else in the county neither representatives of the city of Ogden nor representatives of the Weber administrative district made a statement either way.
