Today, I learned that the COVID19 swab test I took last night came back negative. The test collection was quick, easy and painless. I urge Nevadans to take advantage of our expanded testing capacity if they think they may be exposed.

Late last week, I made a brief visit to a DETR office to thank the employees. On Tuesday we learned an employee — who was not there when I was there — had tested positive for COVID19. The employee never exhibited symptoms at work.

Once DETR learned of the positive employee test result, they followed all the protocols recommend by Carson City Health & Human Services and the Division of Public & Behavioral Health.

Out of an abundance of caution, I have been working out of the Nevada Governor’s Mansion while waiting for these results. I look forward to returning to the office tomorrow.
