The first known case of the new Omicron variant of COVID-19 has been detected in Clark County, the Southern Nevada Health District announced Tuesday. This is also the first known case of the variant in the state of Nevada, health officials stated.
Researchers have detected the omicron variant of coronavirus in wastewater in southern Nevada, but initial reports appear it is not widespread.
Scientists across the world are racing to understand the Omicron variant of COVID-19, and that includes right here in Las Vegas, with research happening at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.
UNLV’s Wastewater Surveillance Program is primarily about identifying new variants and helps the state identify if, and when, they show up.
The sewers in Southern Nevada can tell a lot about what’s happening in our community.
Researchers at UNLV are tracking the Las Vegas Flu season through wastewater studies.

CRISPR reached a big milestone this year by treating a disease inside the body—here's what's next for the technology.
Heligenics, Inc. today announced a new collaboration with The Jackson Laboratory. This joint project will make available the functional output of Variants of Unknown Significance throughout key portion of the ERBB2 gene through the JAX Clinical Knowledgebase, a digital resource that connects clinicians and researchers around the globe in order to interpret complex cancer genomic profiles.
Heligenics, Inc. today announced a new collaboration with The Jackson Laboratory (JAX). This joint project will make available the functional output of Variants of Unknown Significance (VUS) throughout key portion of the ERBB2 gene through the JAX Clinical Knowledgebase (CKB), a digital resource that connects clinicians and researchers around the globe in order to interpret complex cancer genomic profiles.
Reported cases of people getting reinfected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, are rare in the U.S. and none have been confirmed by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But researchers say studying possible reinfections could answer some big questions about the body’s natural immune response after being infected with the virus.
Scientists and public health officials are constantly on the lookout for new strains of COVID-19.
