Gov. Sisolak has announced some of the steps the state will take to reopen the economy. Casinos must submit reopening plans to the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB).<\/p>\n
Board officials need to approve plans before casinos can welcome back customers. The review process requires casinos to address 18 specific procedures.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Gaming Control Board is committed to the safe reopening of Nevada\u2019s gaming industry, and will assist licensees where needed to reopen as efficiently as possible while complying with applicable gaming statutes, regulations, and policies. A safe, thoughtful, and efficient resumption of gaming operations in this State will help both Nevada and its residents recover from this pandemic,\u201d NGCB Chair Sandra Morgan said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Sisolak in March ordered casinos and other nonessential businesses to shutter until April 30. Last week, Sisolak announced there was no specific reopening date for Nevada.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will open when the time is right,\u201d the governor said. The decision will be made based on health data and input from health professionals.<\/p>\n

Among the factors officials will review are a downward trend in the number of coronavirus patients placed in hospitals over a 14-day period. Also, the state wants to see a drop in the number of people in Nevada testing positive for COVID-19.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Nevada officials will also look at whether healthcare providers are able to test patients with symptoms. There needs to be capacity to process COVID-19 tests in labs.<\/p>\n
In addition, state officials want to see that coronavirus outbreaks are contained and curbed in nursing homes and other healthcare facilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
