Clark County’s COVID-19 metrics continued to paint a mixed picture of the direction of the outbreak in data posted Monday.
Pfizer asked U.S. regulators Tuesday to authorize its experimental pill for COVID-19, setting the stage for a likely launch this winter of a promising treatment that can be taken at home.
University Medical Center has provided the treatment to more than 300 patients. New funding will grow operations.
Hospitalizations, test positivity rate and deaths all rose slightly from Friday through Sunday, while new cases declined by an average of one per day, new data show.
Clark County on Wednesday added 359 new coronavirus cases and eight deaths as the test positivity rate jumped for a second straight day.
Over the cries of protesters, public health officials urge parents to get their kids inoculated as community clinics begin administering pediatric doses of COVID-19 vaccine.
Pfizer Inc. said Friday that its experimental antiviral pill for COVID-19 cut rates of hospitalization and death by nearly 90 percent in high-risk adults.
Pharmacies, clinics and doctor’s offices in Southern Nevada were gearing up Wednesday to give the first doses of COVID-19 vaccine to kids as young as 5.
U.S. health officials on Tuesday gave the final signoff to Pfizer’s kid-size COVID-19 shot, a major expansion of the nation’s vaccination campaign.
A day after the county dipped into the “substantial” risk category under the CDC’s classification system, its rate of new cases per 100,000 rebounded into “high” risk territory.
President Joe Biden, an ardent advocate for COVID-19 vaccinations and adhering to national mask guidelines, was chided by critics recently for apparent lapses in protocol.
Deaths remained flat while the county’s test positivity rate for new coronavirus infections dropped by 0.1 percentage points to 6.0 percent.
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.
As Nevada makes significant strides against the coronavirus, the rural county has made an encouraging leap: going two weeks without a single reported COVID-19 case.
“We’re in an environment today where we got to focus on the treatment because there are just some people that are not going to get vaccinated,” said county Commission Chairwoman Marilyn Kirkpatrick.
