A manufacturer of dietary supplements is providing free antibody testing to its entire U.S. workforce, including 90 employees at its Henderson plant.
The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services on Tuesday halted two Las Vegas operations providing rapid tests for COVID-19 and its antibodies.
The patient, identified only as “Alfred,” a man in his 60s, had been critically ill with the disease, officials at Southern Hills Hospital and Medical Center said.
The system is a way to reach in an expedited manner those who are contacts of a confirmed case or who have traveled to areas where transmission is widespread.
“The employee previously had some limited interaction with patients in a clinical setting,” the district stated in a news release.
