The Mohave County Health Department (MCDPH) Nursing staff has been notified of 807 new confirmed COVID-19 cases reported since Wednesday, November 2, 2022 at noon. Also, 8 deaths are also reported since the last published COVID-19 report. Note that deaths are counted by the week of COVID-19 diagnosis (not date of death) and monthly counts may increase as there is often a lag between when case patient is diagnosed, when a death occurs, and when it is reported. COVID-19 transmission in Mohave County has moved up to the medium transmission category according to the CDC Dashboard. ADHS continues to review and audit case/death-related data, and as a result, numbers may fluctuate above or below those previously reported. The reported cases have generally increased week over week in November.
The ATTACHED Fact Sheet in this report shows considerably more detailed information and explanations on the data.

Treatment Options
ADHS has launched a new website for treatments in Arizona to complement the current
monoclonal antibodies website.
ADHS - Everyone - Monoclonal Antibodies (mAbs) (azdhs.gov)
ADHS - Everyone - Find Treatment (azdhs.gov)
ADHS - Everyone - Antivirals (azdhs.gov)
While vaccines provide the best protection from COVID-19, treatment options such as Monoclonal Antibody therapy can shorten the duration of symptoms and reduce the risk of severe illness and hospitalization. Monoclonal antibodies, or mAbs, are made in a laboratory to fight a particular infection — in this case, the virus that causes COVID-19 — and are given to patients directly with an infusion or a shot. Your body naturally makes antibodies to fight infection. However, your body may not have antibodies designed to recognize a new virus-like the virus that causes COVID-19. That’s why mAb treatment may help patients at high risk for severe symptoms or hospitalization. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to allow the use of monoclonal antibody therapies for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID19 in certain high-risk patients. Some people who have been exposed to COVID-19 may qualify for treatment even before testing positive for COVID-19. This treatment is not a substitute for vaccination against COVID-19.
