Nevada Gov. Sisolak issues three-week 'statewide pause' as COVID cases surge
Fox News ^ | Update 4 hours ago

Restrictions include a stronger mask mandate and new capacity limits

According to Sisolak, Nevadans and visitors are required to wear a mask at all times, whether indoors or outdoors, when not in the presence of someone who is part of their household.

No additional businesses will be closed. However, occupancy at both indoor and outdoor restaurants and bars occupancy will be reduced to 25 percent. No more than four people will be allowed at one table, and reservations will be required.

"I know the majority of our bars and restaurants are doing their best, but these settings are proven to be high risk because they allow the opportunity for people to remove their face coverings in indoor settings around people outside of their household. That’s how the virus spreads," he said.

Gyms, fitness centers, dance studios and martial arts studios also must operate under 25 percent capacity. Masks must be worn at all times in these settings unless a patron is actively drinking.

"If the activity is too strenuous to be done while wearing a mask properly, you must seek an alternative," Sisolak said.

Other businesses that will be moving from 50% to 25% capacity during this pause include museums, art galleries, libraries, zoos and aquariums, arcades, racetracks, bowling alleys, mini golf, amusement and theme parks, and other similar activities.

Additionally, gaming operations will be restricted to no more than 25% occupancy. Restaurants and bars within gaming establishments will be restricted to 25% capacity.

I’ve mentioned this high wire act before – this great balancing act - and I feel like we’ve been living in this no-win situation for nearly nine months.— Governor Sisolak (@GovSisolak) November 23, 2020

It’s gonna be awfully hard for folks at slot machines to hold their arms up for 3 weeks.

That might be the worst attempt at a joke I’ve ever made :)

I’ve been in Vegas a lot since June. Have friends there. Some still working in the casinos as bartenders and cocktail waitresses. Vegas is screwed. Not sure when it will come back.

I was there five years ago for a week.

Had a great time.

Sad to hear it’s in bad shape

Only 15 Days 2 years or more to flatten the curve.

Get ready. It's coming. However long it takes to thoroughly control us and destroy the economy. The Great Reset will then be imposed, nay, even welcomed as the nation descends into chaos. Big Guy Biden and Harridan Harris to the rescue! Only one thing will stop it, massive national disobedience. I'm not sure the people are up to it. People here are, of course, but we're a tiny minority compared to the nation as a whole.

Lockdowns only make it worse.

Pass it on.

We have family, in Vegas.

What a total joke that place, and state, have become....adhering to these tyrannical edicts.

Our money will NOT go to supporting Vegas....this, coming from fairly regular visitors to the major casinos....who literally beg us, daily, to come back.

Haha. I went to Harrah’s in AC a month ago. Walked around a little bit. Hated the concept of wearing a mask and seeing everyone walking around in masks. Put $20 into slot machine. After a couple pulls it hit for $60. Went back to my room. Most things still closed. I won’t be back to any casino for a few years at least. It is no fun.

Three weeks.

What happens in 3 weeks?

December 14 — The meeting of the Electors, when the state presidential electors must have been selected by the states and will meet as a group in their states to cast electoral votes for president and vice president.

Got that? We're locked down until after "our" electors have voted for president.

Three weeks to the day.

No protests, no rallies, no public addressing of grievances.

How convenient...

I question the timing.

Thanks for the heads up.

I’m 2 hours away from AC and want to go but not while wearing a mask!

How do you scream at the roulette table with a mask on?

It’s like gambling in a hospital.

I will wait like you.

My boss tells me to expect normalcy to return in spring of 2022. That’s two years. But if somehow a Democrat steals the election and sneaks into the White House, add four more years for each presidential term.
