They say confirmed cases reported daily has decreased since peaking above 1,400 on July 15.
It's a trend that officials attribute at least partially to Nevada's face-covering mandate and limits on large gatherings. But the number of tests reported has decreased week-by-week as well, from more than 49,000 in the third week in July to less than 27,000 last week.
