The Nevada Health Response team shared its latest Nevada COVID guidance.
The CDC recommends that everyone, including fully vaccinated individuals, wear a mask in public indoor settings in counties with substantial or high transmission.
In line with Emergency Directive 045, Nevada is automatically adopting the latest CDC guidance related to masks as a statewide requirement.
