Nevada is rescinding requirements for people to wear masks in public, becoming the latest state in the U.S. to lift restrictions imposed to limit the spread of coronavirus but that have increasingly drawn complaints and protests.
Gov. Steve Sisolak announced during a video news conference Thursday from Carson City that the state will no longer require face coverings in public places, “effective immediately.”
However, mask rules at casinos were not immediately lifted. The state regulatory agency, the Nevada Gaming Control Board, said it will send an industry notice “notifying our licensees of the change.”
