Nevada’s COVID-19 test-positivity rate is slowly starting to tick up.

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.
