Caleb Cage, Nevada's COVID-19 response director, said he has seen reports on social media that someone who was COVID positive attended one of the Trump rallies this weekend, but says that it has not been confirmed: "This is why we have directives in place."
Julia Peek, deputy administrator for the Division of Public and Behavioral Health, notes that anyone who attends an event with a large number of people without masks — even a backyard barbecue — was likely exposed to COVID-19. She recommends testing 5-7 days after exposure.
Cage says the state is expecting to see an increase in cases "over the next few weeks." He said the number of people on the streets over the Labor Day weekend was "concerning." He also mentioned this weekends rallies which were held "in defiance" of statewide directives.
Cage said he would "encourage communities and organizations and public and private entities throughout the state to continue to follow the law."
"I don't think that's a controversial thing to say," he adds.
