LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Experts from the UNLV School of Public Health and Southern Nevada Health District hosted a virtual, live-stream discussion on the science of COVID-19, how to minimize risks and slow transmission and where we go from here.

Nevada is just one of the many states that have taken steps to minimize the risk and spread of COVID-19 as cases increase across the state and the country. Schools have moved to remote instruction, non-essential businesses are temporarily closed, and most residents are now at home.

It is live streaming on UNLV-TV and available on UNLV’s coronavirus website.
