Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak extended his state's coronavirus restrictions through at least Jan. 15 as COVID-19 cases and deaths surge in the Silver State.

Nearly every state in the U.S. reports more than 100 people hospitalized per million, according to the COVID Tracking Project. However, Nevada reports 592, which translates into one out of 1,700 people in the state, according to the project.

"We continue to see an increase of hospitalizations statewide with almost 1,700 Nevadans battling COVID as of Friday," Sisolak said at a press conference Sunday.

The governor also announced Sunday that he would sign an order to place a moratorium on most residential evictions in Nevada.

Since the start of the pandemic, Nevada has had more than 186,000 cases, with at least 2,529 deaths.

The first vaccinations in the state of Washington could be distributed as early as Tuesday, Gov. Jay Inslee said.

The initial shipment of the Pfizer vaccine arrives in the state on Monday.

"This is just fantastic news ... we are getting this vaccine," the governor said, adding he will get the vaccine himself when it is appropriate for his age group.

"Health care workers and long-term care residents will receive the vaccine first," he said.

The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency reported 1,030 newly diagnosed COVID-19 cases on Sunday, bringing the country's total to 46,645.

This is the first time since the beginning of the pandemic that South Korea broke the 1,000 mark in new cases and follows Saturday's record of 950 new cases.

Yonhap reports that President Moon Jae-in held an emergency meeting and called the current situation "the worst crisis" since the outbreak began and a "desperate time" when the government should make an all-out effort stem further infections.

There were 175,663 new cases of COVID-19 confirmed in the United States on Sunday, according to a real-time count kept by Johns Hopkins University.

It's the 34th straight day that the U.S. has reported over 100,000 newly diagnosed infections. Sunday's tally is less than the country's all-time high of 227,885 new cases confirmed on Dec. 4, according to Johns Hopkins data.

An additional 1,114 deaths from the disease were also registered nationwide on Sunday, down from a peak of 2,879 fatalities on Dec. 3, according to Johns Hopkins data.

COVID-19 data may be skewed due to possible lags in reporting over Thanksgiving followed by a potentially very large backlog from the holiday.

A total of 14,760,627 people in the U.S. have been diagnosed with COVID-19 since the pandemic began, and at least 282,312 of them have died, according to Johns Hopkins data. The cases include people from all 50 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and other U.S. territories as well as repatriated citizens.

Much of the country was under lockdown by the end of March as the first wave of pandemic hit. By May 20, all U.S. states had begun lifting stay-at-home orders and other restrictions put in place to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus. The day-to-day increase in the country's cases then hovered around 20,000 for a couple of weeks before shooting back up over the summer.

The numbers lingered around 40,000 to 50,000 from mid-August through early October before surging again to record levels, crossing 100,000 for the first time on Nov. 4 and reaching 200,000 for the first time on Nov. 27.
