There have been more than 500 vaccine breakthrough infections of COVID-19 in fully vaccinated casino workers in Clark County, a number similar to that of health care workers.
Clark County on Wednesday saw most of its major COVID-19 metrics continue to fall as it reported just 333 new coronavirus cases and 11 deaths recorded during the previous day.
Federal regulators are expected to authorize the mixing and matching of COVID-19 booster doses this week in an effort to provide flexibility as the campaign for extra shots expands.
All four key COVID-19 metrics for Clark County fell over the weekend, with 891 new cases and 20 deaths recorded since Friday’s report, according to state and local data.
Gov. Steve Sisolak made the comment on Thursday at a news conference to praise FEMA “surge teams” for increasing the state’s COVID-19 vaccination rates as the mission draws to a close.
The shift from the CDC’s ‘substantial’ transmission risk category highlights progress in slowing the spread of the disease, but more work remains to exit the state’s mask mandate.
