Twelve more cases were reported over the weekend, bringing the total to 339
CLARK COUNTY — The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Clark County rose by a dozen over the weekend, reaching 339 since the outbreak began. The county also recorded two more deaths related to the infection, both women in their 80s, bringing the total number of fatalities to 21.
As of Monday, there were 14 people hospitalized in Clark County with confirmed COVID-19 cases, including four people in intensive care.
The number of daily new cases has topped five only twice in the past nine days, showing the epidemiological curve of the outbreak may have leveled off, or even be in a downward trend.
Of the 21 deaths, 16 have been men, and five have been women. Women account for 202 of the confirmed cases.
All but one of the deaths have been in someone over the age of 60.
Clark County Public Health says 68 cases have been linked to long-term care facilities. As of last Friday, 10 of the deaths had been linked to adult care homes, though the county did not have data on how many of those died in the hospital versus the facility where they lived.
As of April 25, there have been 3,800 total tests performed in Clark County, though that number does not include rapid tests being performed by many providers now.
The Vancouver Clinic is also working with Clark County Public Health to perform testing at adult care facilities throughout the county, in an attempt to get a clearer picture of how prevalent the virus might be in those locations.
That may partially explain why more recent confirmed cases have largely been in people over the age of 60, while cases involving people younger than 50 have remained fairly steady.
