Carson City Health and Human Services (CCHHS) is reporting a possible COVID-19 reinfection in the Quad-County Region.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines a reinfection as someone who was infected once, recovered, and then become infected again 90 or more days after the first positive result.
The individual first tested in June then again in October, which meets the 90-day period. We are working with the Nevada State Public Health Lab to conduct confirmatory genetic testing.
