The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Administration has approved more than $4.1 million in additional public assistance funding for the COVID-19 response in Utah. The assistance continues to be authorized by a major disaster declaration issued in April 2020. FEMA has provided a total of $113 million for the Utah COVID-19 response to date.
The new $4.1 million was received by the Utah Department of Health for contract services to reserve facilities that will be used as long-term care (LTC) facilities for COVID-19-positive LTC patients.
