LAS VEGAS (KTNV) â COVID-19 cases in Nevada have continued to increase and the test positivity rate has stalled.
This is happening as doctors across the nation are trying to prevent a fourth coronavirus surge, despite the vaccine rollout.
âIf we donât keep our guard up, wearing masks, weâre not going to get anywhere, weâre going to regress again,â says Dr. Constantine George.
This week, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky gave an emotional plea after a nationwide rise in cases.
Will there be a fourth wave of COVID-19?
and last updated 2021-04-01 22:34:36-04 Right now, I m scared, Walensky said during a press briefing on Monday.
What would a fourth wave of COVID look like? In Virginia, cases are down dramatically from January, but appear to have leveled off recently. The number of people being vaccinated continues to grow, especially among the most vulnerable. I am hopeful that we will not see a fourth wave. What s going on is we have two things going in opposite directions, said Dr. Bill Petri from the University of Virginia, referring to vaccinations rising and the British variant of the virus spreading.

Multiple media reports documented maskless and tight-packed crowds at Texas’ South Padre Island last week, following Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s decision to lift the statewide mask mandate and capacity restrictions. Many Texan school districts including the majority of San Antonio’s held their spring breaks last week, and more across the country will hold the weeklong reprieve through this Friday. Abbott s decision to rescind statewide pandemic protocols shortly before spring break has medical experts worried about a surge in cases in the coming weeks. Especially as revelers let down their guards.

Fully vaccinated Americans may soon be able to attend small social gatherings without masks, according to new CDC guidance expected soon.
SHOW TRANSCRIPT
Fully vaccinated Americans may soon be able to socialize without masks.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is finalizing its first set of recommendations as the number of vaccines administered passes 80 million. I use the example of a daughter coming in from out of town who is doubly vaccinated, and a husband and wife doubly vaccinated and maybe a next-door neighbor who is doubly vaccinated. Small gatherings in the home, the relative risk is so low that you would not have to wear a mask that you could have a good social gathering within the home, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the U.S. top expert on infectious diseases, during a briefing on Monday.
