Washoe County Reports 14 COVID-19-Related Deaths
The nation is continuing to grapple with the post-holiday COVID-19 surge.
In Washoe, 14 deaths were reported Tuesday. About 41% of all COVID-19-related deaths in the county were reported this month alone. County officials also reported 94 additional cases of COVID-19, but attributed the low numbers to a lull in testing over the holidays.
Southern Nevada leads the state in the number of hospitalizations with about 80% of the 1,800 patients hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19.
Statewide, the test positivity rate has remained around 20% throughout this month. That rate is significantly higher than what is recommended by health officials.
