Daily totals have come down from their all-time peaks the past few days, but active cases are now approaching record levels.
Lyon County Public Health announced 11 new cases Wednesday, well below the one-day high of 45 cases this past Friday and the weekend high of 47 new cases mentioned this past Monday.

*Schools: 3 active clusters, 33 total cases, 17 active cases, 0 deaths
