Nevada Continues To Report Fewer Than 200 Daily Cases Of COVID-19
Nevada’s COVID-19 test-positivity rate is slowly starting to tick up.
The latest data from the state shows about 4.4% of all COVID tests are coming back positive. The metric is a key indicator of how quickly the virus is spreading through a community.
The increase comes after months of steady decline in Nevada.
Overall, the state continues to report fewer than 200 new daily cases.
In all, more than 305,000 Nevadans have contracted the virus and nearly 5,300 have died.
In Washoe County an average of 43 cases were reported Tuesday, as well as one additional COVID-19 death.

So what does that mean for states like Utah, a state that has a century-old blanket ban on gambling and, about a decade ago, bolstered restrictions on online gambling?
Data assembled by the American Gaming Association reflects total U.S. commercial gambling revenue was $24 billion for the first 10 months of 2020, a 33% drop over the same period in 2019. And of that revenue last year, more than $19 billion came from in-person casino gamblers.
