Today, Governor Sisolak held a press conference to review the past six months and give an update on COVID-19. He gave a clarification to a past directive and stated that countertop dining in Clark County is allowed, but countertop gaming still is prohibited. The Governor noted that his staff will continue to look at what is best moving forward, specifically mentioning possibly removing restrictions on churches, youth sports and opening playgrounds.
The COVID-19 Task Force met today with the seven counties flagged for elevated risk of transmission. No counties were added or removed from the list, but Humbolt County did not meet the elevated risk criteria and did not have to submit an action plan. The seven that did were Lander, Lyon, Churchill, Nye, Elko, Washoe, and Clark. The plans can be reviewed HERE, and the general overview is HERE.
