After a week of decreases in major COVID-19 metrics, a public health official said Thursday that the current omicron-driven surge has peaked in Clark County.
Clark County on Wednesday reported 2,540 new coronavirus cases and 35 deaths, as cases continued to drop but deaths and hospitalizations remained at high levels.
It was the first three-day decline in the 14-day average of new cases since early December, adding to evidence that the local surge of the disease is at or near its peak.
Continuing with a dangerous pattern, Nevada reported more than 6,000 new COVID-19 cases in a single day Friday morning.
Omicron now accounts for 92 percent of cases in Clark County, according to data from the Nevada State Public Health Laboratory.
More than $1 billion has been poured into the nonprofit trust for Clark County schoolteachers and families — with little financial accountability in place.
The Southern Nevada Health District on Saturday reported the highest number of daily COVID-19 cases since the start of the pandemic nearly two years ago.
Clark County added more than 3,500 new cases of the disease, while the state topped 4,000 cases for the first time on Friday.
More than one in five residents have now tested positive in both measures as omicron tightens its grip.
