On Dec. 6, 1918, Salt Lake City and Utah health officials met to modify their closure order, to allow churches and theaters to reopen while schools would remain closed. Salt Lake City continued to see handfuls of influenza cases develop throughout the rest of the winter, although never at the same levels experienced during the fall.

By the end of its epidemic, Salt Lake City experienced a total of 10,268 reported cases, nearly nine percent of its population. Of those who fell ill, 576 residents died as a result of influenza or pneumonia, a case fatality ratio of 5.6 percent.
