Governor Steve Sisolak announced Thursday evening after eight weeks of closures, Nevada may allow the reopening in mid-May of many businesses that were deemed non-essential and more outdoor spaces, but bars, casinos and shopping malls would likely stay shuttered. Sisolak said he will move Nevada into the first phase of reopening its economy only if the state meets a number of goals, including seeing 14 days of declining cases and hospitalizations for the coronavirus. Nevada appeared to reach a peak of people testing positive on April 24, he said, and state officials are watching closely to determine if cases continue to fall.
