Today, Governor Sisolak joined Caleb Cage and Julia Peek for the COVID-19 press bulletin. He noted that Nevada has dropped off of east coast states’ travel advisory lists, and this is due to the work of the citizens and numbers trending down. Every county, regardless of risk level, is still required to follow all state guidelines. The Task Force is still reviewing guidelines for possible changes to group capacity limitations and other changes to current guidelines. Today’s press bulletin can be found HERE.
Governor Sisolak sent a letter to Vice President Pence today seeking clarity on the State’s efforts to follow recommendations from the White House Coronavirus Task Force after President Donald Trump held large public gatherings in two locations across the State last weekend that violated state emergency directives. In the letter, Gov. Sisolak respectfully asks the White House Coronavirus Task Force to explain to the residents of the State of Nevada how to reconcile the recommendations from the President’s public health experts and the President’s own contradictory actions in our State. A copy of the letter can be found HERE.
