I know many of you have heard that young people are low risk, but you can still be exposed to COVID-19 & pass it on--to your mom, your dad, your grandparents. Those you love. What you do over the next few weeks will directly affect your family’s health. I’m counting on you. 2/2

And I am directing the closure of State offices to the public ASAP. For essential services (eg, unemployment ins, DMV, Medicaid, welfare, & others), in-person public services will be wound down & transitioned as much as possible to online & phone services in the coming days. 2/3

With that in mind, I issued the following directives:
Employees who can work from home should do so
Ill employees must stay home
Businesses should protect employees who must work in-person in accordance with social distancing guidance appropriate for that workplace 2/43 replies 33 retweets 110 likesShow this thread -
Older people, those with health conditions, & other high-risk populations should stay at home & avoid unnecessary contact
To our faith leaders: I respectfully request that if you are unable to provide for social distancing protocols, you consider postponing services 3/43 replies 29 retweets 106 likesShow this thread -
Local gov'ts should enforce 50% or less capacity of any public gathering space presently allowed by fire marshals
Fewer people in a room with a larger distance between them is the only way to decrease the risk of spread.
We will provide new guidance as it comes out. 4/42 replies 34 retweets 102 likesShow this thread -
I also strongly encouraged our gaming properties to consider closing to the public if they determine that is the best way to protect the safety & well-being of Nevadans & visitors. Those that do not close should comply with strict sanitation & social distancing guidelines.

the sooner the casinos close the fewer Nevadans die - hope it’s soon enough to avoid a long, disastrous closure and ICUs overwhelmed with dying patients!
