Today, Governor Sisolak signed Directive 030, formally adopting the Road to Recovery: Moving to A New Normal plan, which was announced publicly on August 3, and outlined the State’s transition to a long-term, focused mitigation strategy moving forward. The hallmark of the New Normal Plan is utilizing targeted strategic mitigation measures at the county level using State and local data and assessments to best help slow the spread of COVID-19 within those specific communities. Directive 030 also formally creates the COVID-19 Mitigation and Management Task Force and gives them the authority to work with local governments and take action on county-specific plans to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The directive is HERE, and the full press release HERE.
Additionally, the Governor appointed Charina de Asis as Director of the Nevada Office for New Americans. She will be moving from her current Senior Advisor position for the Office to accept this appointment. More information about Ms. De Asis can be found HERE.
