Unemployment benefits are established for a full year, and due to the pandemic nearly 142,000 Nevadans have completely exhausted that eligibility, with the vast majority unable to file again until mid-March 2021 or later. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
In our first months of the pandemic, Nevada lost 250,000 jobs – reaching an unemployment rate of 30.1% -- the highest level ever reported by any state in modern history. For reference, during the Great Recession, Nevada lost approximately 180,000 jobs over nearly three years. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
And right now - our families and countless Nevadans are teetering on the brink. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
I have said repeatedly that we are trying desperately trying to balance public health & the impacts to our economy. When I say "economy," I mean our families – their ability to feed their kids, to keep the lights on, to keep a roof over their heads, to earn a paycheck... — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
A shutdown is unrealistic without additional support. And I realize I owe it to all those Nevadans who may be monitoring our COVID trends right now and wondering why I don’t move in that direction. So let me explain.... — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
But nonetheless, I agree with them. The problem we have is that the mitigation policy that most successfully “stemmed the tide” in Nevada was our complete shutdown. And for the WH to send that recommendation without including a big check for Nevadans is out of touch and offensive — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
This is a very stark departure from their messages and actions over the last 9 months that contradicted and undermined recommended mitigation measures touted by respected public health officials throughout the country. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
One of their recommendations said: “Despite the severity of this surge and the threat to the hospital systems, many state and local governments are not implementing the same mitigation policies that stemmed the tide...that must happen now” — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
But early last week I received a report from the WH COVID Task Force which included recommendations for mitigating the spread. It became clear to me that the federal government has yet to grasp what is so evident to all of us about the complexities of our current situation in NV. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
Some say we’ve gone too far – some say we aren’t doing enough. I understand both sides. The last 9 months have been full of decisions with no winning options – leaving us to determine which choice would lessen the blow the most. I know that, and you all know that. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
There isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t think about the great balancing act that Nevada faces, and how the tightrope we must walk is more pronounced here than in any other state, due to our economic structure. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
With the extension of this pause, the evictions moratorium, the cooperation of Nevadans and a vaccine on the horizon, I am hopeful we can continue to stand together in this fight against the virus. We are fighting the virus, we cannot fight one another. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
State public health officials have expressed concern over families & individuals being evicted. My COVID-19 Medical Advisory team formally recommended reinstatement of an eviction moratorium to reduce increased community transmission caused by displacement and homelessness. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
As I have been clear from the start: this moratorium DOES NOT relieve renters from their obligations to pay rent to their landlords. The State has already created and provided lease addendums where landlords and tenants can work on repayment solutions together. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
We are now in the depths of our most significant and dangerous surge of this health crisis & with an impending deadline to be able to use federal assistance for tenants, I must reinstate a moratorium to ensure Nevadans can stay in their homes during this critical stage. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
I’m announcing one more public health mitigation measure -- something that will help keep Nevadans in the safest place they can be -- in their homes. Tomorrow, I will sign a directive that will place a moratorium on most residential evictions in NV. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
We will be evaluating our current situation everyday. But if officials & experts agree that our trends are going beyond our ability to respond, I will be forced to come in front of all of you again with tougher actions. I believe we can avoid that if we all commit to it. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
That’s why today I am announcing that we will be extending the restrictions in place under the current “Pause” in Nevada for the next month – through January 15th. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
But as I’ve said for 9 months now – we must do what we can to protect the health & safety of the public. That remains more important than ever as we experience these record numbers. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
I know the mitigation restrictions in place under the current “Pause” are devastating to many Nevadans who just want to go back to “normal.” Who are worried about their jobs, their businesses, keeping their homes, and getting their kids back to school. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
In a report from IHME, at the University of Washington, they estimated that as of November 30th, 74% of Nevadans always wore a mask when leaving their home. More importantly, the report noted that if we got that number to 95% -- we could potentially save 1,000 lives by April 1st. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
I spoke recently about how we must create a bridge between our current situation & when the COVID vaccines become widely available. We know the tools to get us across the bridge. Avoid gatherings, limit exposure by staying home as much as you can, wash you hands, wear your mask — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
Almost 3 weeks ago NV entered a Pause which implemented incredibly strict mitigation measures in an effort to both protect lives & our fragile economy. Gatherings are limited. Capacity is limited to 25% at many businesses, including restaurants, bars, casinos floors, & gyms. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
We continue to see an increase in hospitalizations statewide with almost 1,700 Nevadans in the hospital battling COVID as of Friday. I want every Nevadan to have access to care & our healthcare workers have done everything in their power to make sure they are there for you. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
As new developments on the vaccine and the vaccination process unfold, we will work to keep Nevadans posted on any updates and news. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
The State team has worked closely with our partners. Plans are in place to distribute the 1st allocation of the Pfizer vaccine to our frontline health care workers for immediate vaccination, & staff and residents in our skilled nursing facilities as soon as possible. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
On Friday night, the FDA granted emergency use authorization of the Pfizer vaccine and this morning, the Western States Panel tasked with reviewing the vaccine signed off as well. We anticipate receiving the first shipment in the State early this week. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
Good afternoon my fellow Nevadans. We are at a critical point in our State, and I have important updates to share with you all. You can view the live stream of my updates here: https://t.co/J22OrAgsqc — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
We know we are stronger when we work together, and this process is just another example of the proactive and collaborative efforts of all our teams. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
With these extra measures, Nevadans can feel confident in this vaccine. I want to thank all those involved in this process for their hard work, including my fellow Governors. — PolitiTweet.org
