LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Las Vegas area has been added to places in Nevada where authorities have detected cases of a potentially worrisome strain of the coronavirus found in India.
The Southern Nevada Health District reported Tuesday that a woman in her 20s who had not traveled recently and was not vaccinated against COVID-19 tested positive for the variant subtype.
She didn't require hospitalization. A district spokeswoman said Wednesday there were no additional cases to report.
