If you are headed to Las Vegas, the mask mandate is back in Nevada.
Gov. Steve Sisolak just issued the directive in accordance with new recommendations from the CDC for all counties with substantial or high transmission regardless of the vaccine status. According to data from the CDC, 12 of Nevada's 17 counties are deemed as having substantial or high transmission including Carson, Churchill, Clark, Douglas, Elko, Esmeralda, Lincoln, Lyon, Mineral, Nye, Washoe and White Pine.
The statement said "This update comes as the Delta variant now accounts for the majority of new cases. The Delta variant has shown to be much more contagious and spreads more than twice as easily from one person to another, compared with earlier strains."
