Governor Extends COVID-19 Closure Order Until April 30
Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak is extending his order closing the state’s casinos, schools and non-essential businesses by two weeks until the end of April. The new order mirrors national social distancing guidelines that President Donald Trump decided over the weekend to extend until April 30 to stem the spread of the coronavirus. Sisolak on Wednesday also issued a statewide directive telling Nevadans to stay at home, with an exception for essential trips such as visits to the doctor, to buy groceries or exercise. It does not carry penalties if rules are broken.
