With less than a month to go before Nevada fully reopens the state, Washoe County is managing to keep its latest increase in COVID cases under control so far but a recent two-day spike in hospitalizations also serves as a reminder of the challenges the area faces as it tries to get back to normal.
Washoe County reported a sharp increase in active hospitalizations, which rose from 28 to 45 within a two-day period through May 4. The number would eventually dip to 38 by Tuesday. But it’s still higher than the 25 to 28 active hospitalizations that Washoe saw through most of April.
