After testing positive for COVID-19 last week, Senate President Stuart Adams opened the 2022 session unmasked, conducting business as normal and trying to reassure senators and the public he was fully recovered.
Elder Gerrit W. Gong, one of the Twelve Apostles for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, shakes hands with Senate President Stuart Adams, R-Layton, after giving the opening prayer for the start of the legislative session at the Utah Capitol on Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2022.
According to Senate Chief of Staff Mark Thomas, Adams tested negative on Monday, then tested positive Tuesday morning. Adams took a second test which he thought was negative, but Thomas was notified later that there was, in fact, a faint line on the test indicating it was positive. Adams originally began having symptoms Wednesday night and tested positive for COVID-19 Thursday morning. He had planned to attend a news conference Friday regarding the status of COVID-19 in Utah but did not because of the test.
