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.
