As of Feb. 9, test positivity rate remains extremely high within the quad counties, with an average of 40.6 percent of all tests returning positive, according to Nevada Health Response.
UPDATE AND CLARIFICATION: The Carson City and the Quad-County region is currently experiencing a large spike of COVID-19 cases, most likely due to the lifting of many lock down restrictions, people not social distancing, wearing masks or those who are participating close together without face coverings in large gatherings.
If you’ve been living in the Quad-Counties within the last few months, you may have noticed an increase in respiratory illnesses making the rounds throughout the community.
