Colorado, Nevada join Western States Pact to fight coronavirus outbreak
Source: U.S. News & World Report
Colorado and Nevada are joining Washington, Oregon and California in fighting COVID-19 through the Western States Pact, Gov. Jay Inslee announced Monday.
Under the Western States Pact, which was originally announced on April 13 and is composed of all Democratic governors, the states will use a shared approach to reopening their economies during the pandemic.
"In Washington state, our decisions are guided by public health data and science and this is a principle we share up and down the West Coast.
Governor Polis and Governor Sisolak are taking that approach as well, and the addition of their states will strengthen this regional partnership and save lives," Inslee said, according to a press release issued Monday by his office.
