A day after the state’s health care leaders begged Utahns to wear masks with COVID-19 infections surging, an interfaith group of 28 religious leaders issued a joint appeal to people of faith to use face coverings.
Latter-day Saint, evangelical, Catholic, Jewish, Islamic and other faith leaders asked Utahns to sacrifice “a small measure of comfort for the sake of saving lives.”
“As faith leaders, many of us have seen the effects of this virus on vulnerable persons in our congregations,” they said in a letter sent out on the letterhead of Utah Gov. Gary Herbert.
