In line with Emergency Directive 045, the State of Nevada has adopted the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance related to mask requirements, effective Friday, July 30, 2021. All people, regardless of their vaccination status, must wear a mask in public indoor settings in counties with substantial or high transmission. Visit the CDC for more information about the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the State of Nevada as embraced CDC recommendations not requiring fully vaccinated individuals to wear masks indoors or outdoors, mask restrictions may vary by business and county. For example, each county has the authority to establish their own social distancing requirements. (For Las Vegas COVID restrictions, look up Clark County.) Don’t see updated restrictions about where you’re headed? Be sure to call ahead! Please make sure you know what’s required (and what isn’t) before you hit the road.
