“This is not the time to try to find loopholes.”

Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak said the picture is grim but hopeful as the Silver State deals with fallout from COVID-19. Here in Reno, we’ve seen restaurants, bars and casinos shuttered. Now, the governor is saying that if a business is not essential, it may face criminal penalties if it does not immediately close. 

The impacts to businesses facing closure remains to be seen. What is clear is that with increasingly vacant buildings, law enforcement has stepped up patrols. 

Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam spoke at a press conference and said law enforcement is stepping up patrols. We also hear from Sisolak’s most recent, virtual press conference where he outlines why Nevada, like the rest of the world, is making such drastic decisions. Listen below.
