“As Chairman of the COVID-19 Mitigation and Management Task Force (TF), I would like to thank you and all stakeholders in Clark County for the work you have invested in developing your plans,” Caleb Cage said in a letter to County Manager Yolanda King today. “The Governor delegates the authority to Clark County to manage COVID-19 mitigation measures in accordance with the county’s local plans and the rest of the statewide guidelines in accordance with Section 041 of Directive.” 온라인경마
The Clark County Board of Commissioners on April 20 approved plans to expand capacity limits for public gatherings to 80% occupancy and reduce social distancing requirements from 6 feet to 3 feet. Businesses that are currently closed, including nightclubs and adult arcades, can also reopen.
The Commission has decided that capacity and social distancing requirements will be removed when 60% of the eligible population is vaccinated against at least one COVID-19. According to Section 4 of Nevada Directive 24 and Directive 28, masks will continue to be required.
Today, 46.5 percent of the eligible population of 1.83 million people (at least 16 years old) has received at least one vaccine dose. In order to reach the 60 percent limit, about 1,097,955 locals need to receive at least one vaccine dose.
“Our community has been great about getting vaccinated so far,” said Clark County Commission President Marilyn Kirkpatrick, “and if everyone just keeps it, we can open the community 100 percent.”
The Clark County Plan ensures that our region remains on high alert to protect the health of residents and visitors, and prioritizes efforts for herd immunity through continuous comprehensive monitoring/analysis and vaccination of disease burden factors such as hospital status, test positivity rate, community testing, and COVID-19 cases.
According to Clark County’s plan, restaurant seating will now be expanded from six to a table of 12 guests, and the buffet will be able to return on May 1. Curbside, delivery, and operations will continue to be strongly encouraged along with expanded outdoor seating options. Space allocated for dancing can be opened if 60% of the eligible population is vaccinated. Bar-top seating can be expanded from two to four.
The plan allows gyms, fitness studios and similar facilities, swimming pools and spas, water parks, libraries and museums, retail stores, indoor shopping malls, karaoke facilities, and community and recreation centers to increase their share by 80%.
Events with more than 250 participants must submit a test and screening of participants, management of people’s flow, preparation and safety plan for cleaning and disinfection, and other issues to the Clark County Recovery Executive Working Group. Plans must also be submitted if more than 250 spectators or participants are expected. All contact leagues or competitions that resume after May 1 must also submit preparation and safety plans.
Large gatherings and events with prior approval from the Nevada Department of Business and Industry (B&I) are considered plans approved by their local authorities. Large gatherings and events approved by B&I can request approval under the county’s plan to comply with stricter capacity and social distancing requirements. These requests must be submitted to the Clark County Recovery Executive Group, chaired by the Clark County Director of Business Licensing.
Large gatherings of less than 20,000 people will (1) be approved at social distancing 3 feet with a maximum capacity of 80% if the venue is outdoors or indoors or well ventilated. (2) If 50% of the community has completed their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, the capacity will be less than 20,000 people, which may increase to 100% without social distancing. (1) If all attendees have completed a COVID-19 vaccination at least 14 days before the event or have tested negative 24 to 48 hours before the event, (2) if the venue is outdoors or indoors are well ventilated, and (3) if 50% of the target community has completed their first dose, the capacity may increase to 100% without social distancing of less than 20,000 people.
When 60 percent of the targeted communities are vaccinated, capacity at large gatherings can increase by 100 percent without social distancing. At that time, event organizers will no longer be required to submit large gatherings plans. Nevertheless, all event organizers will be strongly encouraged to develop mitigation measures identified in the planning checklist.
All concerts, including live music and DJ performances, sporting events, or other such events, will be allocated seats until social distancing is lifted. Fairs, conventions, and other similar gatherings are open to the public.
Plans for outdoor, open-access events and events with more than 20,000 attendees can be submitted for review by the Southern Nevada Health District on a case-by-case basis to include considering current or anticipated circumstances within the community.
