Staff report

Both Clark and Washoe counties reported second cases of "presumptive positive" coronavirus results Sunday.

The second COVID-19 case in Washoe centers on a male in his 30s, according to the Washoe County Health District. His symptoms appeared after he traveled to Santa Clara, Calif.

The case is considered a presumptive positive and will be sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for confirmation. He is isolated at home, the district said.

The Southern Nevada Health District's investigation was in preliminary stages Sunday afternoon. Officials released few details, but more information will be released Monday, the district said.

"Given the increase in cases across the nation and the world, and the increased local testing we’re conducting, it isn’t surprising to see an additional presumptive positive case," said Kevin Dick, District Health Officer for WCHD. "Washoe County residents should remain vigilant against this disease."

Dick said the man only started showing symptoms after recently returning to Washoe County from the Bay Area. The man limited his contact with others and stayed in his home after getting sick, Dick said at a press briefing on Sunday.

"We are conducting case contact investigation for this individual, so far we have identified a limited number of case contacts and we'll be following up with them in our investigation," Dick said.

One way to reduce the risk of coronavirus' spread in Washoe County would be for people to reconsider travel plans — both domestically and internationally — during the outbreak, Dick said.

Watch the press briefing below:

Washoe and Clark counties both reported their first coronavirus cases on Thursday.

The first reported case in the state was a Southern Nevada man in his 50s. He took trips to Washington and Texas, where the virus has been reported in the community, but did not experience symptoms while traveling. The man was reported to be in serious condition on Friday.

The first Washoe County man affected is in his 50s and is linked to the Grand Princess cruise ship outbreak.

The county says he is in stable condition and is self isolating at home. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are still working to confirm the case.

Dick said he did not know when the CDC would complete its secondary testing of the Nevada men who tested positive for the virus.

"We're probably several days out, at least," Dick said.

The best ways for people to reduce their risk of getting sick, and preventing COVID-19 are:

Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds

Cough or sneeze into your sleeve, or tissue

Avoid touching your face

Stay home if you are sick

Try alternatives to shaking hands, like an elbow bump

There is no recommendation to wear masks at this time to prevent yourself from getting sick

If possible, work from home
