The VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System announced Monday it is implementing new precautions aimed at protecting patients and staff at the VA Medical Center in Las Vegas.
The Southern Nevada Health District on Monday also reported 19 new cases, bringing the county’s total to 35, and raised the risk of contracting the virus to “moderate.”

The first presumptive case of COVID-19 in Nevada was announced on Thursday by the Southern Nevada Health District, while late Thursday a second Nevadan has tested positive in Washoe County.
