Governor Sisolak announced in a press conference this morning that Nevada ends its mask mandate effective immediately.
"Given all of these updates and the tools we have, now is the appropriate time for me to announce that Nevada will rescind our mask mandate, effective immediately.
While masks will no longer be required in public places, there are locations where you may still be asked to wear a mask.
Masks and protective equipment requirements in facilities serving vulnerable populations - like hospitals, clinics and long-term care facilities - will be overseen at the direction of @DHHSNevada. The safety of healthcare staff and patients are our top priority.
Federally, masks are still mandated in airports, on planes & on public buses & school buses.
Teachers & schools will no longer be required to wear masks but school districts will need to work with their local health authorities to have plans in place to deal with outbreaks.
Let me be clear – the State will no longer require masks in public places, but employers and organizations, including school districts, may set their own policies, and I encourage them to work with their employees and communities to ensure that policies are in place," said Governor Sisolak.
