The number of coronavirus hospitalizations in Nevada has spiked to its highest since the start of the pandemic, as an autumn surge continues to rewrite the record book in the state.
A day after announcing he’d tested positive for COVID-19, Gov. Steve Sisolak warned Saturday that Nevada’s response to the coronavirus outbreak was at “a critical juncture” as the state reported a record number of new confirmed cases for the second day in a row.
Although the coronavirus is spreading at record rates in Nevada, the state will not need to tighten restrictions if individuals commit to preventative measures like mask-wearing and working from home, Gov. Steve Sisolak said on Tuesday.
An employee working in Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak’s Carson City office tested positive for COVID-19, sending staff members who came into close contact home to work remotely for the second time in a month.
