STATEWIDE TESTING SITE LOCATOR - https://coronavirus.utah.gov/utah-covid-19-testing-locations/

NEED A MASK? “A Mask for Every Utahn” is a state of Utah initiative, in partnership with the Utah Manufacturers Association, to help Utahns who may not have a face mask and are returning to the workplace or going out in public. The state will provide one mask to each resident who needs one, and will mail — upon request, once, and free of charge — up to six masks to each Utah mailing address.

In partnership with the Utah Pacific Islander Civic Engagement Coalition, we are collecting donations to create care kits to be distributed throughout the Utah Pacific Islander community. We are collecting: gloves, masks, hand sanitizer, and disinfectant wipes. Cash donations are also accepted via PayPal (info@upicec.org) or Venmo (see below).

If you would like to make a donation, please contact our Medical Student Outreach Coordinators:
