Nevada Mask Mandate Back In Effect

In line with Emergency Directive 045, the State of Nevada adopts the latest CDC guidance on masks effective Friday, July 30th, 2021.

In an announcement to the media, the CDC recommended that everyone, including fully vaccinated individuals, wear a mask in public indoor settings in counties with substantial or high transmission.

Nevada Counties That Must Comply

Based on the latest CDC data, 12 of Nevada’s 17 counties are currently deemed as having substantial or high transmission. That includes:

  • Carson
  • Churchill
  • Clark
  • Douglas
  • Elko
  • Esmeralda
  • Lincoln
  • Lyon
  • Mineral
  • Nye
  • Washoe
  • White Pine

    Eureka, Humboldt and Lander counties are listed as moderate and Pershing and Storey counties are at low transmission as of the latest CDC updates.

This update comes as the Delta variant now accounts for the majority of new cases. The Delta variant has shown to be much more contagious and spreads more than twice as easily from one person to another, compared with earlier strains.
