Nevada has become the latest state to rescind the mask mandate statewide.
CARSON CITY, Nev. -- Nevada and its casinos have rescinded requirements for people to wear masks in public, joining most other U.S. states lifting restrictions that were imposed to limit the spread of the coronavirus.
"I expect that given positive COVID trends in Nevada we will start to see meaningful loosening of COVID restrictions in the very very near future consistent with what we have seen in other states," Hornbuckle said. "I want to be clear, the emergency is not over. The pandemic is not over," Sisolak said Thursday."We're still getting far too many cases, far too many hospitalizations and far too many deaths."
A crowded field of Republicans vying to run against Sisolak have criticized Nevada's virus response and mask rules. Workers cited mask requirements and harassment by customers who refuse to wear masks among reasons for leaving their jobs, the chamber said.
