Operative words

SECTION 2:... Restrictions imposed by county government through their COVID-19 Local Mitigation and Enforcement Plan ('Local Plan'), as set forth in Directive 041, may be more restrictive than the standards required by those statewide Directives that remain in effect, but in no case shall county-guidelines be more permissive than the provisions of those Directives. SECTION 3: Section 5 of Directive 024 and Section 4 of Directive 028 are hereby terminated. SECTION 4: Effective Immediately, individuals not exempted by Directive 024, Directive 028, or guidance issued by the Nevada Health Response shall be required to cover their nose and mouth with a mask or face covering in a manner consistent with current guidance issued by the CDC, and any subsequent guidance issued by the CDC.... SECTION 5: Section 6 of Directive 024 is hereby amended to read as follows: Businesses shall ensure that all patrons, customers, patients, or clients utilize face coverings consistent with this Directive, which may include prohibiting persons without face coverings from entering any indoor premises.

Enforcement

NV OSHA and licensing boards under Directive 024 ss. 8-10; Gaming Control Board (Notices 2021-41, 2021-48, 2021-71, 2021-139)

Notes

The mechanism by which the CDC's July 27, 2021 guidance became a Nevada requirement three days later (Directive 047); GCB Notice 2021-139 (Dec. 29, 2021) records the requirement 'in counties with substantial or high transmission' still in force at year-end.

Retrieval note

The directive's text concerns face coverings and county plans, and the June 1, 2021 end of capacity limits is proved by Directive 044 and GCB Notice 2021-48.
