KZMU News: Monday October 5, 2020

Today on the news, Grand County reports seven new positive COVID-19 cases. This jump comes as the state’s overall numbers continue to climb. We hear an impassioned plea from a critical care physician at Utah Valley Hospital on the importance of masks, hand washing, and social distancing in prevention. Plus, Grand Junction and Glenwood Springs, Colorado have new fire scars to deal with. Our partners at KDNK recently explored a more mature scar to get a sense of what’s to come for these communities.
