COVID-19 Protocol Unchanged From CES 2020: Clark County

If a CES 2022 attendee who's not a Clark County resident tests positive for COVID-19 after returning home from Las Vegas, it routinely doesn’t get reported to Clark County but to the patient’s state or local health department, emailed a Southern Nevada Health District spokesperson Monday. It’s the same protocol that was in place two years ago when no direct link was made between CES 2020 and COVID-19 infections throughout the country (see 2004240041). The protocol is common to local health jurisdictions throughout the U.S., and points to the difficulty of confirming whether COVID-19 can be traced directly to CES 2022.
