Gov. Sisolak Activates National Guard

Gov. Steve Sisolak activated the National Guard Wednesday to lead Nevada’s fight against the coronavirus and extended his order closing the state’s casinos, schools and nonessential businesses an additional two weeks through April. Unlike similar directives issued by governors in some other states, it does not include penalties for violations. Sisolak said it “merely reinforces and strengthens” requests he’s been making publicly since mid-March.
