LAS VEGAS (KTNV) – Thousands celebrated New Year’s Eve on Thursday during rallies across the Las Vegas Valley despite warnings from medical staff to stay away from the crowd and take other measures amid the pandemic.
The New Year’s Eve outings have worried doctors about the consequences because 2020 may be over, but the fight against COVID-19 is far from over.
“Everyone is going to have a big expectation for 2021 – that it’s going to be a great year. Maybe people will go out more, and that’s exactly what I’re afraid of,” he said. Jeffrey Ng, doctor in primary care, said.
Las Vegas apparently does not seem to be on the right foot with the celebrations could cause a super-distributor event.
CORONAVIRUS: Test positivity in Nevada continues to rise
“Our numbers are still high, we are still more than 20%. I think we have the second highest percentage in the country. All you need was 15 minutes in the crowd and you can inhale all the virus. It’s just such a quiet spreader, ‘said Dr. Ng.
If you have visitors from across the country, it may also be more likely to have the new coronavirus strain in Nevada.
Dr. Ng recommends that you try to quarantine for seven days on New Year’s Eve, even if you do not show symptoms, and you may want to test to be sure of your health condition.
