Within the last month or so, more Las Vegas Valley medical offices have started offering telemedicine appointments in response to the COVID-19 outbreak — part of a nationwide trend that has seen an explosion in use of the technology.

One key to getting schools and businesses re-opened is getting more people tested for coronavirus. Doctors need to know who has the disease, and who may have had it already but showed no symptoms.

51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ's School of Medicine will expand its coronavirus testing thanks to help from the Nevada National Guard, according to a spokesperson.
