Clark County
In a recent 17-month period, the two largest ambulance companies in Southern Nevada — AMR and MedicWest — have reached the 90 percent on-time contractual obligation with Clark County once and zero times, respectively.
Only one case has been reported in Clark County this month, as cases dwindle across the U.S. and other countries.
Cases and hospitalizations in Clark County and statewide plateau this week after increasing the prior week for the first time in three months.
Individuals can make appointments for COVID-19 vaccinations, routine immunizations and monkeypox vaccinations.
Both hospitalizations and cases continue to decline in Clark County and Nevada.
All of the cases are in men who identify as having sex with other men, the Southern Nevada Health District said Wednesday.
A probable case of monkeypox virus has been reported involving a man in his 40s, according to a Southern Nevada Health District news release.
The individual, a man in his 30s who did not require hospitalization, was diagnosed in another state.
The U.S. outbreak of monkeypox has touched Clark County, with a presumptive positive case reported in a local man who recently traveled within the country, officials said Wednesday.

Clark County’s case rate per 100,000 people, another key CDC metric, also increased this week from 86.07 to 110.69.
Clark County saw another jump in COVID-19 metrics this week. Hospitalizations also have increased.
All major COVID-19 metrics increased over the last week in Clark County, according to a weekly report released Wednesday.
