LAS VEGAS Clark County commissioners have mandated that all employees working indoors in a public space must wear masks an effort to help stem the rapid spread of COVID-19 in recent weeks.
Adopted during an emergency meeting Tuesday, the new restrictions come three months after federal authorities announced that fully vaccinated people no longer have to wear masks in most indoor and outdoor places.
But new coronavirus cases leaped in Nevada the week ending Sunday, rising 51.8% as 5,024 cases were reported. The previous week had 3,309 new cases of the virus that causes COVID-19.
“One solution, of course, is wearing a mask,” Southern Nevada Health District Chief Medical Officer Cortland Lohff told commissioners.
