Every year on November 20, Nevada people hold vigils to mark the Transgender Day of Remembrance. The annual observance honors those who have lost their lives due to anti-transgender violence. Image
More info about international events and the history of TDOR can be found at tdor.info/about-2/ Transgender Awareness Week, Nov. 14–20, seeks to expand understanding of trans and gender nonbinary individuals.
To attend virtual vigils in Nevada, check out @uufnn in Reno or @thecenterlv and @genderjusticenevada in Las Vegas.
Nevada is first in the nation with protections for transgender people. Unfortunately, transphobia, misogyny and racism have all contributed to the violent deaths of at least 34 transgender people in this country over the past 12 months.
Learn more by participating in a Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil. More info at uufnn.org or genderjusticenv.org

Please tune in now to my 4:30 p.m. update. Tune in here.
Thank you all for joining me in this virtual format today for this press conference. As many of you know, I tested positive for COVID. I’m feeling good and am not experiencing any symptoms.
I cannot stress enough my sincere gratitude to all the health officials who assisted me through this process - as a State we owe them a debt of gratitude for their continued service throughout this entire pandemic.

Today I joined a call with members of the Nevada press to provide a quick update on my current condition & Stay at Home 2.0. Here are some highlights...
First, I want to thank all the Nevadans who have reached out and taken the time to check in on me since my COVID-19 diagnosis. I am doing well, with only mild head congestion earlier this week.
Since my diagnosis was on Friday, Nov. 13, I will be finished with this home isolation period early next week, assuming all the criteria is met, including being asymptomatic for 24 hours following my 10 day isolation, per CDC guidelines.

Fellow Nevadans - we are at a critical juncture in our response to #COVID19. Today, we recorded 2,269 new cases, including mine. I again want to underscore the importance for Nevadans to stay home when they can to help protect themselves and our communities.
We reported more than 25,167 tests today – another record high for our State. I am encouraged by Nevadans who are getting tested so they can take action to quarantine & prevent the spread to their family & friends. Our 14-day positivity rate continues to climb & stands at 14.9%.
Across the country, #COVID19 is surging once again. We know more now than we did then. We know that physical distancing, face coverings and frequent hand washing can help slow the spread. We also know that limiting your exposure to others is critical with high transmission rates.

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. ImageImageImage
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.

Good evening, thank you for being here tonight for this important COVID-19 update. Tonight, I am grateful that @RenownCEOTonyMD, the president & chief executive officer at Renown Health is here with me to share the burden COVID is having on our communities.
Our country & our state are on a rough course right now. New cases, hospitalizations and – tragically - fatalities are on the rise. The fall spike, predicted by medical & scientific experts, is now our reality. Nevadans need to accept this reality & change behaviors immediately.
I am encouraged by this week’s news about a potential COVID vaccine. It gives me hope and should give you hope. Our Nevada team is closely monitoring these updates and adjusting our vaccine distribution framework so we are ready when the time comes.

Good afternoon, thank you for joing me for today's #COVID19 update. I am joined today by COVID-19 Response Director Caleb Cage & Ms. Julia Peek, who is leading our contact tracing efforts from the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services.
First, a national update: The 7-day average of new cases in the U.S. exceeded 70,000 for the first time & more than half the states are reporting case numbers at new records. In the last month, the number of COVID hospitalizations in the U.S. climbed 45%.
Nationwide, trends are indicating that new cases are being driven by relatively small gatherings of families and friends where folks are more likely to let their guards down. That’s the COVID fatigue setting in. We must overcome it.
