The Utah Department of Health says no new patients have died from the disease. 

Governor Gary Herbert has also announced a partnership with Silicon Slopes to increase the state's testing capacity for the coronavirus.

Utahns are then given a unique code and are sent to a testing center.  Health officials hope the idea will help them track the virus' spread.
