Hospitals
The Las Vegas Valley’s major hospital systems, including University Medical Center, HCA Healthcare and Dignity Health have enacted “no visitor” policies.
Schools
All public, private and charter schools and universities are closed.
Note: Numbers for recovered cases in Nevada are not included because they are not reported by every county. The accuracy of such statistics are challenging because not everyone who has had the virus has been tested or displayed symptoms. Experts estimate that 80 percent of those contracting the virus will have mild symptoms and recover.
