Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak (pictured) announced a roll back to the COVID-19 restrictions imposed in November that limited casino capacity to 25%. The capacity limit will be lifted in phases started yesterday February 15, and the gambling floors’ occupancy would be increased to 50% of their capacity given the improvement in the coronavirus cases. By May 1, state authorities plan to transfer the COVID-related discretion to the local authorities.
Capacity at gambling floors will be relaxed to 35% from the existing 25%. Under Sisolak’s tentative schedule, this means more gamblers will be able to hit the casino floor on Presidents’ Day, a federal holiday. March 15 will see a further easing of restrictions from 35% to 50% capacity limits for casinos, the operational limit that was imposed before the governor announced his statewide “pause” in November.
In addition to casinos, other places that will also see a similar jump in the capacity limit to 35% from the existing 25%, including places of worship, yoga studios, gyms, fitness studios, bowling alleys, arcades, racetracks, martial arts studios, and pool halls. Meanwhile, museums, zoos, libraries, art galleries, and aquariums will be allowed a 50% capacity limit.
“As we ease restrictions, we must follow the science and research, which states emphatically that closures to certain settings are more impactful in controlling disease transmission. We must remain flexible as we have done all along.” Said Sisolak
