Clark County’s COVID-19 activity rose into the high activity category for school reopening in data released Tuesday that also showed 20 new confirmed cases and one new death.
The new COVID-19 fatality was a man 80 years or older with no underlying conditions, according to Clark County Public Health. His death brings the disease’s death toll to 48 in Clark County to date.
The 20 new cases bring the county’s total number of recorded COVID-19 cases to 2,455 to date, according to public health. As of Tuesday, 18 people were hospitalized with COVID-19 and 10 were hospitalized awaiting test results.
The county’s activity rate, which measures the total number of cases per 100,000 people over 14 days, rose to 76.1 in the data released Tuesday. It had been 74.7, just barely in the “medium activity” category in the state’s guidance for school reopening.
In the “high activity” category, the state recommends almost entirely remote learning with limited in-person learning for high-need students and no sports or extracurricular activities.
Clark County school districts have adopted remote learning for the upcoming year, and health officials have said the county would need to see activity levels fall into the medium category for at least three weeks in a row before considering relaxing restrictions.
As of Tuesday, children 19 and under represented 13 percent of all cases, with 311 cases to date. Youths ages 10-19 had about twice as many infections (207 cases, 9 percent) than children under 9 years old (104 cases, 4 percent).
Young adults in their 20s had the highest share of COVID-19 cases (461, 19 percent), followed by adults in their 30s (439, 18 percent), adults in their 40s (389, 16 percent), adults in their 50s (352, 14 percent), adults in their 60s (242, 10 percent), adults in their 70s (126, 5 percent) and adults age 80 and over (115, 5 percent).
The largest number of deaths has been among adults age 80 and over, with 28 deaths. Seven deaths were reported in people in their 60s, one death for people in their 50s, one death for people in their 40s and two deaths for people in their 30s. No deaths have been reported in anyone younger than 30.
Other data, including a map showing which ZIP codes have the highest percentage of residents with COVID-19, can be viewed on Clark County Public Health’s website.
