Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak outlined the state's plans for reopening Thursday, while saying there's still plenty of work to be done between now and May 15.
The Governor outlined a number of items Nevada needs to address before the economy can truly be restarted.
He did say the state now holds the capacity to test all symptomatic people and is working to expand the coronavirus testing to every Nevadan. The state established a new task force, known as "LEAP", to guide future decision making at a more local level when it comes to reopening in different regions of the state. Clark County Commission Chairwoman Marilyn Kirkpatrick sits on the leadership panel of this new group.
The Governor extended the state's stay-at-home order by executive order Wednesday.
The Governor says if Nevada continues to see improvement on the coronavirus cases front, Phase 1 of the federal mandates involving economic reopening could take place before May 15.
Under the extended directive, businesses that previously were directed to be closed will remain closed, including salons, barber shops, bars and casinos, among other things. Businesses that are deemed essential may still be open, and must still comply with strict social distancing standards and other safety measures to keep workers and clients safe.
In an interview Wednesday for a special on the coronavirus aired on ABC, Sisolak told ABC, reopening of casinos will be a long ways off, "into the third or fourth phase of we're going to end up doing".
