CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Since the start of the pandemic, Nevada has relied heavily on molecular tests to gauge the spread of the coronavirus.

Nevada is one of more than 20 states that don't report complete data on antigen tests to the public.

Decisions over how to interpret the faster but less reliable tests could affect decisions about the future of the state's pandemic directives, including business closures, capacity limits on public places and the face-covering mandate.
