Response news updates

The following section provides a timeline of Nevada's reopening activity beginning in April 2020. The entries, which come from our Documenting America's Path to Recovery newsletter, are sorted by month in reverse chronological order. The date shown is the day that we wrote about them in the newsletter. They appear exactly as they appeared in the newsletter.

August 2021

  • August 5: On Wednesday, Aug. 4, Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) issued an order requiring staff and students at public, private, and charter schools in counties with more than 100,000 people to wear face masks while in school buildings or buses. Sisolak’s initial directive applied to schools in all counties. School superintendent objections prompted him to issue an additional order later in the afternoon exempting schools in counties with fewer than 100,000 people.

June 2021

  • June 18: On Thursday, June 17, Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) announced “Vax Nevada Days,” an initiative to encourage residents to get a COVID-19 vaccine. The initiative will include a $1 million grand prize, as well as smaller cash prizes ranging from $1,000 to $250,000, and state park passes.

May 2021

  • May 14: On Thursday, May 13, Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) issued an order exempting vaccinated people from the statewide mask mandate. The order aligns the state’s mask mandate with CDC guidance that fully vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear a mask indoors in most circumstances.
  • May 4: On Monday, May 3, Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) issued an emergency directive updating the statewide mask mandate order to align with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) latest guidance. The updated language states that people “shall be required to cover their nose and mouth with a mask or face covering in a manner consistent with current guidance issued by the CDC, and any subsequent guidance issued by the CDC.”
  • May 3: County governments assumed control over most COVID-19 mitigation policies on May 1. Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) signed the directive on April 20. Counties are permitted to set social distancing measures and restrictions on schools and large events. The Nevada Gaming Control Board still controls mitigation in casinos until June 1, when all state mitigation policies—except for the statewide mask mandate—will end. County commissioners had to approve a Local Mitigation and Enforcement Plan and submit it to the state for approval before May 1. County school districts also gained control over all COVID-19 mitigation measures.

April 2021

  • April 21: On Tuesday, April 20, Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) signed a directive allowing county governments to assume control over most COVID-19 mitigation policies on May 1. Counties will be permitted to set social distancing measures and restrictions on schools and large events. The Nevada Gaming Control Board will continue to have control over mitigation in casinos until June 1, when all state mitigation policies—with the exception of the statewide mask mandate—will end. County commissioners are required to approve a Local Mitigation and Enforcement Plan and submit it to the state for approval before May 1.
  • April 14: On Tuesday, April 13, Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) announced that he was ending statewide social distancing requirements on May 1, with the goal of removing all restrictions on businesses by the beginning of June.

On June 24, 2020, Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) signed an executive order requiring individuals to wear face coverings when in public, effective June 25.

On May 13, 2021, Sisolak issued an order exempting vaccinated people from the statewide mask mandate.

In those counties, vaccinated and unvaccinated people would be required to wear masks indoors. Sisolak said the order would take effect on July 30.[21]

Noteworthy lawsuits

See also: Lawsuits about state actions and policies in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, 2020-2021

Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley v. Sisolak: On July 24, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a request by a Nevada church for permission to hold in-person services in excess of COVID-19 capacity limits imposed by Gov. Steve Sisolak (D). The church, in its emergency application to the justices, sought an injunction pending appellate review that would bar enforcement of Directive 021, which would “allow the church to host religious gatherings on the same terms as comparable secular assemblies.” At issue in the case was the church’s argument that the capacity limit violated the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment in that it “treats at least seven categories of secular assemblies 'where large groups of people gather in close proximity for extended periods of time' better than religious services." The directive, which imposed a 50% fire-code capacity limit on places of business, such as casinos, restaurants, and movie theaters, limited gatherings at places of worship to a 50-person maximum. The court, in a 5-4 split, rejected the request. The majority made no comment, a common practice when acting on emergency applications. In a dissent, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that the state's argument that "allowing Calvary Chapel to admit 90 worshippers presents a greater public health risk than allowing casinos to operate at 50% capacity is hard to swallow." Justices Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh joined Alito's dissent. Justice Neil Gorsuch and Kavanaugh each wrote separate dissents.[24]

300 West Sahara LLC v. Nevada: On August 24, 2020, a Las Vegas hotel, after being fined for hosting an "Evangelicals for Trump" event, filed suit in the Clark County District Court, seeking an order invalidating Governor Stephen Sisolak’s (D) ban on gatherings of more than 50 people. In its complaint, the Ahern Hotel argued that the governor's Directive 21, which allowed restaurants and casinos to operate at 50% capacity while limiting other gatherings to a maximum of 50 people, "is unreasonable because there is no rational basis for treating" businesses that host events differently than "similarly situated non-essential business." The hotel characterized this disparity as an "unlawful, arbitrary, capricious" and "clearly erroneous" violation of its rights to equal protection and due process. The hotel, therefore, sought a court order allowing convention centers, hotels, and restaurants to host events, subject to other health and safety standards under Phase II of Nevada’s Reopening Response Plan. The city and state had not commented on the suit as of September 1, 2020.[25][26]

The table below lists officials or candidates who have been diagnosed with or quarantined due to coronavirus. The most recent announcements appear first.

Name Office Date Status
Susie Lee U.S. House Nevada District 3 November 25, 2020 Lee announced she had tested positive for coronavirus.[27]
Steve Sisolak Governor of Nevada November 13, 2020 Sisolak announced he had tested positive for coronavirus.[28]

Status of industries, May 15 through July 31

Between May 15 and July 31, we conducted detailed tracking of industries and activities in each state daily.

  • "Yes" means an activity was allowed or an industry was permitted to open. "No" means an activity was not allowed or an industry was not permitted to reopen.
  • Some rules were applied regionally rather than statewide. Each cell shows the loosest restriction in place at the time, or the broadest level of an activity permitted in the state, even if that activity was only permitted regionally. Where applicable, we indicated that an activity was only permitted regionally, and provided details in a cell note. For example, if gyms were permitted to open in half of a state, the spreadsheet would say "Yes (regionally)," and differences between the regions would be explained in a note.
  • A lack of detail in a note or parentheses does not necessarily mean that an activity or industry was "back to normal." We did our best to capture caveats, exceptions, and modifications to activities. We acknowledge, though, that states put forth a large number of requirements for many industries and activities.
