UNLV Medicine To Increase COVID-19 Testing

With the help of the Nevada National Guard, UNLV Medicine will increase its capacity to perform curbside tests for the coronavirus.

Governor Steve Sisolak activated 700 members of the national guard to help with the state's response to the outbreak.

UNLV Medicine said it will take appointments for people who exhibit the symptoms outlined by the CDC for testing, including fever, cough and difficulty breathing.

Individuals exhibiting symptoms or who have been in direct contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 should call (702) 583-4408 between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday – Friday for an appointment to be tested.
