Nevada Phase 1 Reopening to Begin Saturday May 9
Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak announced Thursday that Phase 1 of Nevada’s reopening has been moved to Saturday May 9. Sisolak said, “I’m able to move up this announcement because as a state we have met our gateway benchmarks for starting reopening.”
Under Phase 1, restaurants can open under social distancing guidelines and are limited to 50 percent of capacity, but bar areas will remain closed at this time. Barbershops, hair and nail salons also can open under social distancing. Services can be provided by appointments only. Outdoor malls and stand alone retail shops can reopen as long as they follow social distancing guidelines. Indoor malls will remain closed, but may offer curbside pick-up of products ordered online. The state’s marijuana shops may also open for retail sales, not just curbside pick-up, although curbside pick-up is encouraged.
Gaming establishments will not reopen in Phase 1. Gym and fitness facilities will also prohibited from reopening.
The governor also said the state is getting close to performing 4,000 tests per day.
Sisolak emphasized that large gatherings are still discouraged, with Mother’s Day around the corner.
