Vegas-area lawmakers link capacity to COVID-19 vaccine rates
April 21, 2021 GMT
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Lawmakers in Las Vegas are linking plans to fully lift distancing restrictions beginning May 1 with vaccination rates in the state’s key tourism region, while Reno-area businesses could soon have no capacity limits and voluntary distancing rules.
County lawmakers in the state’s two most populous areas approved separate plans Tuesday for consideration Thursday by the state’s COVID-19 Response Task Force appointed by Gov. Steve Sisolak.
The Democratic governor has set a June 1 date to lift almost all coronavirus mitigation restrictions — except statewide mask mandates that will remain in place indefinitely.
