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

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.
