Nevada Orders Bars to Close Again as Coronavirus Cases Surge
Nevada governor Steve Sisolak on Thursday began to reverse the states reopening amid a surge in coronavirus cases, ordering bars in the Las Vegas and Reno areas to close again to prevent spreading the infection.
Bars that do not serve food in counties that are experiencing a spike in coronavirus cases, including Washoe and Clark counties, will be required to close indefinitely at 11:59 p.m. on Friday. Sisolak said he will release the full list of counties affected by the order on Friday.
We know that COVID-19 can easily spread when people are congregating for long periods of time, like inside a bar, Sisolak said. In states where we have seen significant spikes, such as Arizona, Texas, and Florida, they have all taken actions to roll back bars."
Sisolak also noted that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration found that fewer than half of bars properly observed social distancing and mask requirements.
