Washoe County health officials say a spike in new cases of COVID-19 over the weekend is attributed to an outbreak at a Sparks nursing home.
The county health district says the 54 new cases confirmed Sunday were the most reported there in a single day. It said nearly half were at the state-licensed Arbors Memory Care down the street from the Northern Nevada Medical Center in Sparks.
Statewide, figures released Monday by the Nevada Health and Human Services Department show that the rate of new cases of the coronavirus in Nevada continues to decline.
