Additionally we want to ensure that vaccines are distributed equitably across all populations, including historically underserved populations. We know this pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on our communities of colors & our plans must have a strong emphasis on equity — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

The immunization team kept that goal in mind as they developed updates to the Playbook. They listened to those at the local level who expressed the need for additional flexibility to adjust to real-life situations on the ground. — PolitiTweet.org

Secondly, our primary goal is to ensure we don't let any doses go to waste. We want to maximize every dose that comes into the State – and avoid expired or unused doses. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Our team has recognized the importance of prioritizing our senior population & we are developing plans w/ partners to help with this effort, but one notable change is that the top priority under General Population is 70 years and older – previously it was 75+. — PolitiTweet.org

Now onto vaccines: I want to talk high level about our State’s goals when it comes our COVID-19 vaccination efforts. 1st, we are focused on a science & policy-based distribution model. That's reflected in every version of our playbook and will be reflected in these updates. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

We are past the 10 mo mark since our first case in Nevada. Over time, it’s easy to become numb to the daily numbers, but we can’t allow ourselves to do that. Now is not the time to give in, it’s the time to double down for the future of our State. It’s the only way we’ll recover. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

In order to not add an increased burden on our hospitals, we must remain under these strict mitigation measures & change our behavior immediately. Like I’ve said many times, there is hope on the horizon, but full-scale vaccination will not occur until further into the year. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

At the time I announced these measures, I called it a “Pause,” because I truly hoped they would only have to last for a short period. However, we remain at an all time high and due to Christmas and New Years, our case numbers are likely to increase over the coming weeks. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

It’s for these reasons that we will be continuing the mitigation measures that are currently in place. At this time & for planning purposes, we are looking to keep these measures in place for another 30 days. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Our HHS team predicts it’s likely that we won’t see the full impact of holidays and gatherings in December until around 2 weeks from now and we likely won’t see the full impact of New Year's Day until the end of the month. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Now onto COVID updates: I want to talk to Nevadans briefly about extending the State’s current mitigation measures in place to help slow the spread of COVID-19. What the trends show right now is that the State is still experiencing very high levels of disease burden. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

As you’re going to hear today, we’re trying to get out the largest vaccination in the state and country’s history. We have healthcare works overwhelmed in hospitals. Most importantly, our children are watching- they're internalizing this. We owe it to them to do better. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Language from party officials & community leaders that incite insurrection & violent uprisings & promote blatant falsehoods are dangerous at a time like this. The false allegations against the integrity of the election, which lack all evidence of fraud or wrongdoing, need to end — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I wan to make one more thing very clear: I know there are many folks around the State and the country right now reading a letter written by the Nye County GOP chairman. It is an embarrassment to the entire State. Do I condemn it? You bet I condemn it. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

And right now, our common goal must be to reach the end of this pandemic so that no more families mourn the loss of a loved one to this terrible virus and be able to transition to the full strength of our economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

All of the challenges we face as a nation are combined and intertwined. And the United State is best when we come together, putting aside our differences, to reach a common goal. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

The divisiveness and lack of leadership have resulted in the lack of a unified national strategy to combat a deadly pandemic. It has pitted state against state on the open market trying to secure personal protective equipment and testing supplies. — PolitiTweet.org

As I said last week, the chaos that erupted at the U.S. Capitol was the opposite of patriotic. It was undemocratic and un-American. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Before I begin, I want to take a brief moment of silence to honor the Capitol Police officers who lost their lives as a result of the mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol building last week. These men spent their lives protecting the halls of our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

While I am incredibly sad to see her leave Nevada, I am confident the State will always remain close to Sen. @YvannaCancela's heart. I consider her a dear friend and on behalf of the State, thank her for her service & look forward to working with her to navigate these challenges https://t.co/2UEs938DV9 — PolitiTweet.org

This pandemic is not yet over. Together we can overcome it but first, we must each do our part as Nevadans and wear a mask. By doing so, you will be helping protect yourself and others and helping all of us stop the spread of #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

The First Lady and I are humbled by the opportunity to continue to give back to Nevada’s schools. These donations remain a symbol of my commitment to education and my promise to positively impact the lives of our educators, families, and the children of Nevada’s public schools. https://t.co/XZyotS3RnU — PolitiTweet.org
