RENO, Nev. (AP) - Here’s a look at some of the impacts of the coronavirus outbreak in Nevada:

THE NUMBERS

The number of coronavirus cases in Nevada reached 109 Friday, according to the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services. That includes the first cases in rural Nye and Elko counties. One death has been reported in Clark County. More than 70 cases have been confirmed in Clark County and nearly 20 in Washoe County. Other cases were reported in the four-jurisdiction area reporting to Carson City Health and Human Services - Carson City, Douglas, Lyon and Storey counties.

AGE, GENDER GROUPS

Just 5% percent of cases are among Nevadans under 20 Cases are spread fairly evenly among all the other ages categorized in 10 year groups ranging from 10% for 70 and over, to 14% for 30-39. Among all ages, 48% are female, 41% male and 11% unknown.

EVICTION MORATORIUM

Justice courts in Reno and Sparks have joined Las Vegas Justice Court in suspending eviction proceedings for 30 days. Those suspensions covering all residents in Clark and Washoe counties are in addition to a 60-day suspension of foreclosures and evictions the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Department announced Friday for all mortgages insured nationwide by the Federal Housing Administration.

Nevada State Treasurer Zach Conine says approximately 85% of single-family homeowners in Nevada are insured by the FHA. The Nevada Coalition of Legal Service Providers and others continue to press Gov. Steve Sisolak for a moratorium on foreclosures and evictions statewide. Las Vegas saw 2,631 eviction cases in December, according to the Las Vegas Sun.

UNIVERSITY REFUNDS

Under pressure from students and parents, the University of Nevada, Reno has reversed course and agreed to offer partial refunds for residence hall payments and meal plans as students complete the semester through remote instruction. Noting that “the COVID-19 pandemic is worsening,” UNR announced Friday any students who have been asked to stay home in order to receive remote instruction are entitled to prorated refunds on their dorm rental payment. Pro-rated refunds will also be offered for those who purchased meal plans but cannot use them for the remaining weeks of the semester.
