Nevada reinstates mask mandate
Gov. Steve Sisolak on Tuesday issued the directive in accordance with new recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control. Mask use is mandated for all, regardless of vaccine status.
The mandate will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. on Friday.
The rules are in accordance with Sisolak's Emergency Directive 045, signed in May, to automatically adopt CDC guidance related to mask-wearing.
Based on CDC data, 12 of Nevada's 17 counties are deemed as having substantial or high transmission, including Carson, Churchill, Clark, Douglas, Elko, Esmeralda, Lincoln, Lyon, Mineral, Nye, Washoe and White Pine, the governor's office said.
