Gov. Joe Lombardo signed a bipartisan bill to repeal COVID-era health regulations.
Expect to pay out-of-pocket for over-the-counter COVID-19 tests, for a start.
Already at pandemic lows, COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations dipped this week.

After a post-Thanksgiving spike this month, COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in Clark County and statewide continue to decline, new state data shows.
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.

Clark County reported fewer hospitalizations from COVID-19 this week as vaccines began rolling out for children 6 months to 5 years old in Southern Nevada on Wednesday.
Hospitals are watching admissions closely but continue to function normally.
The Southern Nevada Health District strongly recommends that people wear masks in public indoor places and stay up to date on their COVID-19 vaccinations.
