Nevada Governor, Sisolak Tests Positive For COVID-19

Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak tested positive for COVID-19 Friday, according to a news release from his office.

Sisolak, a Democrat, received a positive result from a rapid test and is awaiting results from a diagnostic PCR test, his office said. He admitted to feeling tired earlier this week, the release said, but he “attributed this to his demanding schedule.” He did not experience any other symptoms.

“It was important to me to notify Nevadans as soon as possible of my positive COVID-19 test results. I am currently not experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms and I have returned to my residence to begin the quarantine and isolation process,” Sisolak said in the release.

Before Friday’s test, Sisolak received negative test results on November 2 and 6, his office said.
