Actualización sobre la variante de COVID-19, Delta en el Condado de Washoe: se reportan 53 casos adicionales, 1 muerte

Total de muertes relacionadas con la variante de COVID-19, Delta subió a 3, ninguno estaba vacunado

Julio 14, 2021. Reno/Sparks, NV – El Centro de Información Regional de COVID-19 reportan una muerte adicional relacionada con la variante de COVID-19, Delta en el Condado de Washoe.  La difunta es una mujer en sus 50s con afección subyacente. 

Ha habido 688 muertes relacionadas con COVID-19 en el Condado de Washoe desde marzo 2020 – tres de esos casos han sido confirmado con la variante Delta mediante la secuenciación realizada por el Laboratorio de Salud Pública del Estado de Nevada, y ninguno de los tres había sido vacunado contra COVID-19. 

Adicionalmente, reportamos 53 casos adicionales de la variante de COVID-19, Delta para un total de 118 en el Condado de Washoe.  De los 118 casos Delta, 11 fueron hospitalizados y cuatro internados en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (ICU).  De los 11 casos hospitalizados, solo uno se vacuno contra COVID-19.  Aproximadamente 40 casos de Delta se consideran “activos” y aun no se recuperan.

“Actualmente, la variante Delta es la cepa dominante en el Condado de Washoe y el estado de Nevada,” dijo la Dra. Nancy Diao, directora de la División de Epidemiologia y Preparación para la Salud Publica para el Distrito de Salud del Condado de Washoe. “Nuestros investigadores de enfermedades reportan que los casos con la variante Delta están experimentando síntomas más severos que duran más de 10 días.  Todos menos un caso hospitalizado, y todos los casos fatales, infectados con la variante Delta no habían sido vacunados.  Es extremadamente importante que los residentes se vacunen contra COVID-19 lo más antes posible.”

Hoy reportamos 52 nuevos casos diarios de COVID-19 en el Condado de Washoe.  Este es la cifra más alta reportada desde el 6 de mayo.  El promedio de 7-días en nuevos casos es de 33.3 lo que representa un aumento de 65% en nuevos casos en solo una semana.

Con la variante Delta circulando, que es dos veces más contagiosa que el virus de COVID-19 el pasado julio, y con casi la mitad de la población sin vacunarse, los residentes están vulnerables a rápidos aumentos en casos y hospitalizaciones como hemos visto que está ocurriendo en el Condado de Clark.  Vea más información sobre COVID-19 en  nuestro boletín.  Si está mostrando sintomas de COVID-19, necesita quedarse en casa, aislarse de otros, y hacerse una prueba de COVID-19 con el Distrito de Salud.

Se ha comprobado que las vacunas son efectivas contra la variante Delta y que son la solución para prevenir la transmisión, hospitalización, y muerte debido a COVID-19.

Se urge a los residentes de 12 años o mayores a que se vacunen lo más pronto posible, y que consideren la información de fuentes confiables cuando tomen la decisión de vacunarse.  Las vacunas están disponibles y son gratuitas sin importar su estado migratorio.   

La vacuna contra COVID-19 se está ofreciendo todos los lunes, miércoles, y viernes en el Centro de Eventos Livestock de Reno-Sparks de 8:30-11:30 a.m.  Se aceptan visitas sin citas, pero se recomienda tener cita.  Programe su cita aquí.

Las farmacias locales y las tiendas de comestibles también están ofreciendo la vacuna.  Vea una lista completa aquí.

Hay varios eventos de vacunación contra COVID-19 en la comunidad esta semana que pueden encontrarse aquí, incluido el de hoy en el Centro Comunitario de Sun Valley del mediodía a las 5:00 p.m., Sparks Middle School de 1-4 p.m. y el parque Regional Lazy 5 de 5-7:30 p.m.

El Centro Regional de Información de COVID-19 está trabajando para entregar actualizaciones a la comunidad sobre COVID-19 de manera unificada. Mientras que los publicados son enviados periódicamente para eventos significativos, siempre se pueden ver los resultados diarios en nuestro sitio, https://covid19washoe.com/, nuestro Boletín de COVID-19, y en Twitter @COVID19Washoe.

COVID-19 Delta variant update in Washoe County: 53 additional cases, 1 death reported

COVID-19 Delta variant update in Washoe County: 53 additional cases, 1 death reported

Total COVID-19 Delta variant-related deaths up to 3, all were unvaccinated

July 14, 2021. Reno/Sparks, NV – The COVID-19 Regional Information Center is reporting an additional COVID-19 Delta variant-related death in Washoe County. The deceased is a female in her 50s with an underlying health condition.

There have been 688 COVID-19-related deaths in Washoe County since March 2020 – three of those cases were confirmed to have the Delta variant through sequencing performed by the Nevada State Public Health laboratory, and none of the three had received a COVID-19 vaccine.

Additionally, we’re reporting 53 additional COVID-19 Delta variant cases for a total of 118 in Washoe County. Of the 118 Delta cases, 11 were hospitalized and four were in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Of the 11 hospitalized cases, only one received a COVID-19 vaccine. Approximately 40 Delta cases are considered “active” and have yet to recover.

“The Delta variant is currently the dominant strain in Washoe County and the state of Nevada,” said Dr. Nancy Diao, Division Director for Epidemiology and Public Health Preparedness for the Washoe County Health District. “Our disease investigators are reporting back that cases with the Delta variant are experiencing more severe symptoms lasting more than 10 days. All but one hospitalized case, and all fatal cases, infected with the Delta variant were not vaccinated. It’s extremely important that residents receive a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible.”

Today we are reporting 52 new daily cases of COVID-19 in Washoe County. This is the highest number of new cases reported since May 6. The 7-day average of new cases is now 33.3 which is a 65% increase in new cases in only a week.

With the Delta variant circulating, which is twice as contagious as the COVID-19 virus was last July, and nearly half of our population still not fully vaccinated, residents are vulnerable to a rapid increase in cases and hospitalizations as we have seen is currently occurring in Clark County. See more COVID-19 information on our dashboard. If you are showing symptoms of COVID-19, you need to stay home, isolate from others, and get a COVID-19 test with the Health District.

The vaccines have been proven to be effective against the Delta variant and they are the solution for preventing transmission, hospitalizations, and deaths from COVID-19.

Residents 12 and older are urged to get vaccinated as soon as possible, and to consider information from reliable sources when making the decision to be vaccinated. Vaccinations are readily available and provided free of charge regardless of immigration status.     

The COVID-19 vaccine is being offered every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center from 8:30-11:30 a.m. Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are recommended. Sign up for an appointment here.

Local pharmacies and grocery stores are offering the vaccine as well. See a full list here.

The Health District and state health officials are urging unvaccinated residents to consider getting the COVID-19 vaccine to protect yourself and your loved ones from the Delta COVID-19 variant. The Delta variant, which is the dominant variant in Washoe County, is much more contagious than other variants and most hospitalized Delta cases are unvaccinated. The COVID-19 is proven to reduce the chances of contracting, or being hospitalized from, COVID-19 and the Delta variant.

Below are some community events where you can get the free COVID-19 vaccine. Walk-ins are encouraged to stop in but appointments are available to some events as well. Links below include appointment registration or more information:

Nevada is among states leading the nation in new COVID-19 cases and Washoe County is trending higher as well. The 7-day moving average for new cases in Washoe County is at 28, which is the highest it has been since May 16 (28.6) and is a 40% increase in new cases just in the last week. For more COVID-19 information in Washoe County, see our COVID-19 Dashboard.

The COVID-19 vaccine is the best way to protect oneself and others from COVID-19 and 99% of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. in June were among unvaccinated people.
