Operative words

Effective June 1, 2021. Clark County will delete in its entirety the plan set and executed on May 1, 2021 and return to pre-pandemic guidelines. This means that restrictions involving capacity limits, large gatherings, dancing, etc. will no longer be in effect. Fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask or physically distance in any setting, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance. Masks will still be required on planes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation... In the event that hospital capacity should rise, additional mitigation may be required for the protection of the Southern Nevada community. (Supplement:) All attendees are required to wear a face covering unless they have an exemption outlined in Emergency Directive 024, meet the guidance of OSHA... or the CDC guidance issued after May 13, 2021.... All scheduled events prior to June 1, 2021 will be required to re-submit with the approval letter to modify this section.

Notes

The instrument that ended Clark County's general restrictions; letters from Henderson (Mayor March and City Manager Derrick, May 17, 2021), Las Vegas (City Manager Cervantes), North Las Vegas (City Manager Juden) and Boulder City confirm the regional plan bound the cities; the Nevada Resort Association letter confirms resorts remained under Gaming Control Board, OSHA and Governor's directives

Retrieval note

Ten pages read in full (meeting handout for item 62, 'Approved as Recommended' per Legistar). EJDC AO 21-04 confirms: 'On May 18, 2021, the Clark County Board of Commissioners approved elimination of all capacity and social distancing requirements effective June 1, 2021.'.
