Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak will keep the state under the Phase 2 reopening protocol. The Governor says the state is watching medical numbers and hospitalizations, and has tripled the capacity for contact tracing. He says contact tracers are working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, contacting people who have tested positive, asking about who they may have come in close contact with and following up with those contacts.
Nevada entered Phase 2 on May 29. The move paved the way for the state's gaming industry to reopen June 4.
Sisolak also says local leaders can tighten up standards in their own communities, beyond the current state guidelines.
