Those officials also say they aren’t harmful to those with respiratory-related medical conditions.Still, the demonstrators said mask mandates violate civil liberties. Utah does not have a statewide mask mandate in public places, but Gov. Gary Herbert announced that when classes resume in August."We are entering the greatest battle to defend individual rights that has ever been waged before," Bundy said about mask requirements. "If we lose this battle, then we and our children will be plunged into the depths of darkness for many generations. This darkness will be more severe than ever before."The number of coronavirus infections is thought to be far higher because many people have not been tested, and studies suggest people can be infected with the virus without feeling sick.For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some — especially older adults and people with existing health problems — it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death.
