Nevada has lifted its statewide indoor mask mandate, making face coverings optional in casinos and other popular Las Vegas hotspots.
"Just like vaccines, masks are still a great tool we have to slow the spread of the virus. I expect going forward to still see Nevadans and visitors occasionally utilizing masks when they are out in public," the state's Gov. Steve Sisolak said in a statement. "The State will no longer require masks in public places, but employers and organizations, including school districts, may set their own policies, and I encourage them to work with their employees and communities to ensure that policies are in place."
issued its own directive also lifting mask requirements "unless a local jurisdiction still imposes such a requirement."
Nevada's new mask policy follows similar decisions to make masks optional by governors across the country, including California and New York.
