Zion National Park Still Open, But Many Services Closed
While open, Zion
National Park has limited service available to the public and the
park is recommending visitors comply with the Governor’s directive
to temporarily discourage unnecessary travel and concentrated
recreational use to reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19. On March
27, 2020 Utah Governor issued a “Stay Safe Stay Home” Directive
to combat spread of COVID-19. The goals of the directive are to
flatten the curve, reduce potential impacts to local communities,
reduce the strain on hospitals and the healthcare system, and
minimize the impact on medical resources for those with highest need.
