MURRAY — Intensive care unit bed utilization across all Utah hospitals is currently at 88%, according to the state health department's Monday report, while ICU beds are 92% occupied at the 16 Utah hospitals best equipped to care for COVID-19 patients.

"We have good care and we have a very low case-fatality rate, but those things change when we can't take care of patients in numbers that we can handle," said Dr.

Vento said Utah hospitals are doing everything they can to prevent crisis care standards.
