Lyon County, City of Yerington, Carson City Health and Human Services and the Quad County Health Care Coalition will hold a COVID testing operation on Tuesday, Oct. 13 from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.. The testing will be at the new City Hall (Old National Guard Building) located on the corner of Main Street and East Goldfield Avenue.
Last week, Lyon County officials were notified that an assisted living facility, Mason Valley Residence, in Yerington had a high number of positive tests for COVID-19. It is reported that 34 out of 53 tests results were positive.
Lyon County has been informed that Mason Valley Residence is currently notifying family and guardians of the residents as well as employees. The facility had South Lyon Medical Center conduct the testing on Oct. 2, 2020.
Lyon County is working with South Lyon Medical Center, Carson City Health and Human Services and the Quad County Health Care Coalition to assist the facility to reduce the impacts and further spread of COVID-19 at the facility and in the community.
