Utah is closing some state COVID-19 testing sites and turning others over to private companies, the state health department announced Monday.

The move was announced as the state transitions to a more “long-term, sustainable response” to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a news release from the Utah Department of Health.

“Testing is still an important tool for many Utahns,” the health department advised, as positive tests gives people a chance to be considered for certain COVID-19 treatments, including• The elderly, and people with significant underlying conditions. • People who plan to visit someone who is vulnerable, including people over the age of 75, the immunocompromised or those receiving immunosuppressive medication.• People who work with vulnerable populations, including health care workers, long-term care facility employees, and those living or working where people congregate, including prisons and homeless shelters.

• People traveling somewhere that requires a negative test, though the Utah Department of Health will no longer offer travel testing after Thursday.coronavirus.utah.gov/utah-covid-19-testing-locations for the latest information on operating hours, types of tests offered at each site, cost and more. If you’re looking for a specific type of test for travel requirements, you can search by test type at that website, according to UDOH.

Turning them over? Just...here's the site. All the supplies and infrastructure? No charge? To private companies. Hmm... follow the money...
