As part of a regular testing protocol, I underwent routine COVID-19 testing on Friday, November 13 in Carson City. A rapid test provided a positive result. I also received a diagnostic PCR test and those results are pending at this time.
At this time, I am not experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms. Earlier this week, I felt a little fatigue, which I attributed to my demanding schedule. No other symptoms were experienced.
Prior to today’s test, I received negative results on all previous tests – including my last two regular COVID tests conducted on Monday, Nov. 2 and Friday, Nov. 6. Consistent with guidelines from the CDC and the DHHS, I am isolating and continuing to monitor my symptoms.
Prison officials say 81 percent of the inmates at Warm Springs Correctional Center in Carson City have tested positive for COVID-19, marking the worst outbreak to date in the state’s prison system.
The Nevada Department of Corrections announced on Friday that 424 inmates have tested positive out of the 525 inmates in the facility. Twenty-five staff members have also tested positive.
“Warm Springs Correctional Center remains in lockdown. Meals are being delivered to each unit,” the agency said in a statement. “NDOC will continue to monitor the situation at all facilities.”
