Additionally, businesses currently closed, including nightclubs and adult entertainment, may reopen.
Commissioners decided that capacity and social distancing requirements will be removed when 60% of the eligible population receives at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Masks will continue to be required, per Nevada Directive 24 and Section 4 of Directive 28.
As of Tuesday, the county says 46.5% of the eligible population of 1.83 million -- those at least 16 years old -- has received at least one vaccination shot.
