He continued by saying the statewide mask mandate will remain in place throughout the transition.
“It is also important to note Nevada Gaming Control Board will continue to maintain authority over gaming licensees within the State of Nevada, including capacity limitations within properties,” read another Tweet.
The statewide mask mandate will remain in place throughout this transition – Outside of getting vaccinated, it’s still the best tool we have to prevent the spread.

Gov. Sisolak also mentioned about 40% of Nevadans 16 and older have started the vaccine process while 25% are fully vaccinated.
The State opened vaccine eligibility to those 16 and older on April 5.
The Governor also mentioned the topic of students returning to the classroom.
.@NVSupt, @NevadaReady, & our county school districts have worked tirelessly to get our kids back to the classroom & keep everyone as safe as possible – This includes setting up testing, contact tracing, & being one of the first states to prioritize educators for vaccination.
