​Covid-19 Press Bulletin March 24

Carson City, NV — Today, Caleb Cage, Nevada COVID-19 Response Director and Candice McDaniel, Health Bureau Chief for the Bureau of Child, Family, and Community Wellness provided updates on Nevada’s ongoing COVID-19 response, and vaccination efforts during a call with members of the media. 
This bulletin provides facts, figures, and informational items from the call. As a reminder, data is provided in a dashboard on the home page of the Nevada Health Response website. 
SUMMARY:  
  • As of today, Nevada has logged 301,727 cases, with the 14-day rolling average of daily cases being 196. 
 
  • Nevada has now completed a total of 2,902162 molecular tests since the beginning of COVID-19.  

     
  • The test positivity rate over the last 14 days is 4.6%.

     
  • Earlier this week, the Nevada Hospital Association reported the state dropped to the lowest total (confirmed and suspected) of hospitalized COVID-19 patients since the NHA began tracking these numbers, almost one-year ago. 

     
  • Today, the NHA is reporting there are currently 301 COVID-19 hospitalizations (224 confirmed; 77 suspected). 

     
  • Case counts and hospitalizations continue to improve. 

     
  • It is very important that Nevadans get the COVID-19 vaccine when they become eligible.  

     
  • Please do not depend on those around you being vaccinated to protect you. Like a mask – everyone should get vaccinated to protect each other. 

     
  • As of March 23, 1,133,877 COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered and reported to Nevada WebIZ. 

     
  • It is important to keep the COVID-19 vaccination record card you receive. 

     
  • This card includes important information about the dose of vaccine you were given and, if it is a two-dose series, ensures the second dose is received in the right timeframe. 

     
  • Hold onto the card and bring it to your second appointment.  

     
  • It is also recommended to take a photograph of your card on your phone, so you have a copy if the original is misplaced. 

     
  • If you lose your card, your immunization record can be requested through the public Nevada WebIZ portal that can be found through the Division of Public and Behavioral Health webpage. 

     
  • Please do not post a picture of your immunization record to social media.  

     
  • This card includes identifying information that could make you vulnerable to identity theft. 

     
  • Many locations have vaccination stickers, and we encourage you to share your testimony on why you chose to be vaccinated but keep your card private. 

     
  • As always, Nevadans are encouraged to check out NVCOVIDFighter.org or call 1-800-401-0946 for the latest information on vaccine eligibility and appointment availability in their county.  ​
