Clark County
Nevada and three others states are the only ones in which all counties are experencing low levels of the virus.
Clark County is phasing out of a rental-assistance program instituted during the COVID-19 emergency, but says it has other programs ready to take over.
But that doesn’t mean that older people who get the virus are more likely to die than they were earlier in the pandemic, one expert says.
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.
Most metrics have been on the rise for months, but the rate of the increase has gone up in recent weeks.
Clark County’s case rate per 100,000 people, another key CDC metric, also increased this week from 86.07 to 110.69.
COVID-19 metrics held mostly flat in Nevada’s weekly report on Wednesday, with a delayed report of over 300 deaths clogging up most significant figures and affecting raw data totals.
Clark County showed a slight uptick in COVID-19 cases in the state’s weekly update.
The state reported 82 deaths over the preceding week, with data updated through Monday.
On the first day of its new COVID-19 reporting system, Clark County reported a decline in most major metrics.
On the final day of daily COVID-19 updates from state officials, Clark County added another 369 new cases and 20 deaths.
Clark County on Thursday reported 516 new coronavirus cases and 16 deaths, as long-term metrics declined but daily number inched higher.
