(Rick Bowmer | AP file photo) Utah Gov. Gary Herbert wears a mask during a news conference on April 15, 2020, in Salt Lake City. Executives from several Utah hospital groups said on Friday, July 10, 2020, that Herbert's "challenge" to Utahns to wear face masks is insufficient, and a mandatory statewide order to wear masks is needed to stem the state's rise in COVID-19 cases.
