Recent COVID-19 Surge Traced to 4th of July Holiday

A record high on Tuesday in the daily number of positive coronavirus tests in Nevada may be the result of lax mask-wearing and a lack of social distancing during the Independence Day holiday, according to state officials. Caleb Cage, state pandemic response chief, said “Nevada continues to see a resurgence in COVID-19 hospitalizations, We believe that many of the new cases in this recent surge are coming from the Fourth of July weekend.”
