CARSON CITY (AP) — Nevada health officials say they expect to see an uptick in new coronavirus cases after President Donald Trump held rallies in the state over the weekend.
Thousands of mostly mask-less supporters attended the rallies in Minden on Saturday and Henderson on Sunday, which violated Nevada directives capping at 50 the number of people who can attend public gatherings.
The rally in Henderson was the first indoor event Trump has held since a mid-June arena event in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Nevada has reported more than 73,800 coronavirus cases and nearly 1,460 deaths since the start of the pandemic.
