Nevada Records Fewer Than 1,000 New COVID Cases Two Days-In-A-Row
Health officials in Nevada confirmed fewer than 1000 new cases of COVID-19 for the second day in a row on Tuesday.
The newest data from the state marks the first time since early November Nevada has recorded fewer than a thousand new daily cases.
And while health officials are hesitant to call it a trend, it is part of the state s overall decline in COVID-19 metrics. That includes the two-week rolling average of new daily cases which has now dropped to 1,212. A couple of weeks ago that number was closer to 1,700.
