On Monday, Washoe County became the last county to win approval of a local plan to move forward before June 1. The task force declined to accept its plan last week after the county commission removed social-distancing requirements from the previous blueprint that the county health district had insisted be part of the package.
It’s new plan eliminates capacity limits effective June 1, unless there’s a big spike in the new number of COVID-19 cases and other trends. In the meantime, it allows full capacity in businesses that have enough space to still comply with the 6-foot social-distancing mandate.
In Las Vegas and Clark County, the capacity cap rose from the state-mandated 50% to 80% on Saturday and will be eliminated when 60% of eligible county residents have received at least one vaccination shot.
