(Nevada).- Last week, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak reimposed a mask mandate for the Silver State that goes into effect Friday, July 30. The move comes as the Center for Disease Control changed its recommendation on indoor mask wearing, regardless of a person’s vaccination status.
Sisolak shuttered the state’s entire gaming market in March 2020 in response to the pandemic but allowed casinos to reopen in June provided everyone inside was wearing a mask and adhering to social distancing measures.
As vaccines became available, the CDC altered their recommendation in mid-May and said that vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear masks indoors. The change caused Sisolak to remove the mandate and casinos were allowing guests inside without any face coverings.
Signage around casinos said that guests should be vaccinated in order to ditch masks, but there was no verification in place because of the cumbersome process it would entail to ensure every maskless guest was vaccinated.
Recently, the CDC flip flopped on their recommendation. As the government agency is claiming that the delta variant is causing a surge in cases, vaccinated individuals are able to spread the virus and that more people need to be fully vaccinated, the group switched its stance back to recommending indoor masking.
Tuesday, Sisolak issued an order that mandatory indoor masking in public places to reflect the tune change.
