Operative words
Employees of businesses across Clark County will be required to wear masks while working in indoor public spaces... The new mask mandate, which members of the Clark County Commission approved during an emergency meeting on Tuesday, will apply to all businesses in incorporated cities and unincorporated parts of the county and takes effect at the stroke of midnight on Thursday.... Employees will be allowed to remove their masks while working alone in their office or another enclosed space but must wear one when entering and exiting those spaces. The mask mandate will remain in place at least through August 17, when county commissioners will evaluate what steps to take next.... Commissioners also voted on Tuesday to require businesses to post signage letting customers know about the health district's indoor mask recommendation (Nevada Independent, July 20, 2021, MET-LAS-009). Staff report: 'The County Commissioners have the authority to implement measures on businesses and activities open to the public which may assist in the fight against the heightened spread of the disease, and under emergency powers granted to the Board, may adopt such measures' (MET-LAS-007).
Enforcement
Clark County Business License; CCC 3.04.065; compliance plans from large businesses due the following Monday
