Governor Sisolak announced on Monday that Nevada will remain in Phase 2 of the 'Roadmap to Recovery' until the end of July, due to trends in COVID-19 infection rates.
He said he will sign an emergency directive extending Phase 2. He said this will give Nevada time needed for expanded contact tracing and to see the impacts of the governor's new face covering mandate.
“Flexibility is one of the core principles in our Roadmap to Recovery, precisely to account for the situation we are in now. As I’ve said repeatedly, the virus – and our personal actions to help mitigate its spread- drives the timeline,” said Gov. Steve Sisolak. “As a state, we were able to begin reopening because Nevadans were staying home as much as possible, washing hands frequently and maintaining six feet of social distancing. Now, all Nevadans must wear face coverings to help slow the spread as well. We can only stay open if we stay safe.”
In addition to the extension, Gov. Sisolak said the directive provides that DMV documents that expired between March 12 and July 15 will be valid through September 13. Customers are encouraged to use online services and kiosks whenever possible.
