Coronavirus by the numbers. The total number of Covid-19 cases in Nevada County has now reached 75. That includes four cases added to the county’s total on Friday, but none on Saturday or Sunday. In western Nevada County, the total is now 21, up from 14 a week ago, which means a 50 percent increase after no cases for almost two months.
