Health officials in Nevada on Sunday reported 1,194 new COVID-19 cases and 15 more deaths.
The latest figures increased state's pandemic totals to 270,907 cases and 4,026 known deaths.
Clark County had 907 of the new cases and five of the 15 deaths, according to statistics from the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services.
The state's largest county now has accounted for 208,147 cases and 3,066 deaths since the pandemic began.
The number of infections statewide is thought to be far higher than reported because many people have not been tested, while studies suggest people can be infected with the virus without feeling sick.
The virus has hammered Nevada's tourist-dependent economy, and state officials Friday reported that new unemployment claims rose for the third week in a row.
There were nearly 1,000 new unemployment insurance claims filed in the week ending Jan. 16, a 10.1% increase from the previous week. Those are in addition to ongoing unemployment claims filed each week by workers.
