In response to media inquiries, the following statement is from Irene Caso, spokesperson for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints:
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the need to limit public gatherings, leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints determined a traditional groundbreaking for the Layton Utah Temple, with invited guests, was not prudent. The First Presidency assigned the Utah Area Presidency to conduct a small-scale groundbreaking, held Saturday, May 23, so that construction could proceed.
Latter-day Saints and friends in the community are invited to view a recording of the proceedings that will be made available online next week at Newsroom.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
