With 2,333 new coronavirus cases reported Tuesday, Utah’s rate of new diagnoses plateaued after a three-day lull in test results, typical in the early days each week.

But with 23 new deaths reported, Tuesday marked the deadliest 30-day stretch in Utah, with 313 fatalities in the last month alone.

The percentage of tests coming back positive remained at a near-record-high 27%, which suggests a lot of infected Utahns aren’t being tested, health officials have said.

For the past week, the state has averaged about 3,100 new positive test results a day, the Utah Department of Health reported — slightly below Monday’s rate of 3,125, but well above last Tuesday’s rate of about 2,300.

Utah’s death toll from the coronavirus stood at 972 Tuesday, with 23 fatalities reported since Monday.

Hospitalizations held steady Tuesday, with 579 Utah patients currently admitted, UDOH reported. On average, about 587 patients have been receiving treatment in Utah hospitals each day for the past week — a record-high average.

In total, 9,003 Utahns have been hospitalized in Utah for COVID-19, up more than 1,100 in the past two weeks.

There were 9,906 new test results reported Tuesday, below the weeklong average of about 13,400 new tests per day.
