COVID-19 has been confirmed in nine long-term care facilities in Clark County, and five deaths from the disease have been associated with those facilities.

On Monday, Clark County Public Health reported 31 additional confirmed COVID-19 cases since Friday, which brought Clark County’s total cases to 168.

Public Health is no longer reporting numbers on weekends.

There were three new deaths reported Monday, which means the county now has suffered 11 fatalities. Nine of the deaths have been in men, and 10 of the 11 who succumbed were age 60 and older. The youngest local fatality thus far was someone in their 40s.

Almost half of the deaths have been associated with long-term care facilities, according to Clark County Public Health data. Long-term care facilities can house more vulnerable, older populations, who are more susceptible to complications of the coronavirus.

Two of the first cases identified in Clark County were a married couple, Merle and Dee Tofte, who lived in different long-term care facilities but saw each other regularly. Both died of the virus.
