Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - Clark County is now at a medium level for COVID-19, as local case rates continue to decline. COVID-19 is still circulating in the community, and the Southern Nevada Health District urges everyone to follow recommended guidelines to protect themselves and others, so this positive trend continues.
The SNHD says that people who are at high risk for severe illness should talk to their health care provider about whether they need to wear masks and take additional precautions, and everyone should stay up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines and get tested if they have symptoms.
“We appreciate everyone’s ongoing efforts to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on our community,” said Dr. Fermin Leguen, District Health Officer for the Southern Nevada Health District. “Each time someone gets vaccinated or wears a mask to protect themselves and those around them, their actions are helping limit the impact COVID-19 has on our community,” said Dr. Leguen.
SNHD says that COVID-19 vaccines are an effective way to prevent severe disease and hospitalizations and are available for everyone 6 months of age and older. The Health District offers the Moderna, Pfizer and newly authorized Novavax vaccines at its clinic sites. Location information is available at www.snhd.info/covid-vaccine.
