Robert Perea, The Fernley Reporter

For the second consecutive day, there were no new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Lyon County on Monday, according to the Quad-County Emergency Operations Center.

Lyon County’s total remains at 26 confirmed cases, with five recoveries, no deaths and 21 cases still active.

There were two cases reported Monday by Quad-County EOC, both in Carson City. That brings the region’s total to 84 cases, with 52 of those still active.

Three Quad-County residents are hospitalized due to COVID-19.

Quad-County EOC will begin testing for those without symptoms next Monday, May 4. The Quad-County EOC experienced technical difficulties due to an issue with the phone line provider for the registration line for community-based testing. The number to schedule a test for those without symptoms has now been changed to (775) 434-1450. There are limited appointments and testing will be available in each of the four counties in the region. The specific location will be given when the appointment is scheduled.
