SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A state coronavirus-response team in Utah is calling comments from President Donald Trump 'misinformation' and warning people to stay home from work if they show symptoms that match the virus.
In a tweet Thursday, the task force led by Republican Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox posted an audio clip from Trump's wide-ranging interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity in which he said that many cases of coronavirus are mild and that some people still go to work.
A spokeswoman for Cox says he was not involved in the tweet. Cox is a candidate in the race to replace outgoing Gov. Gary Herbert.
