For commercial & gov't employers: This is not the time to have crowded meetings & events, like birthday or retirement parties. Masks must be worn by EVERYONE in meetings for the entire duration. Keep the number of people in meetings to a minimum, & keep meetings short. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

For all employers & office spaces: Telework as much as possible -- if employees can do their jobs from home, do so. If employees have to be in the workspace, they need to be masked up at all times & meetings should be done virtually from individual offices instead shared spaces. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

What you do at home, in your own backyard or your neighborhood, is almost more important. Please don’t let your guard down at home. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

If we can take action now, we can keep our businesses open, reduce the spread of COVID, save lives and keep our healthcare system from being overwhelmed. As government officials, we can only adopt and enforce restrictions in businesses and public spaces. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I know you’ve heard me say all of this before, but I am asking you, on behalf of our healthcare workers, our EMTs, and everyone on the frontlines who is seeing this alarming trend in the wrong direction - please do your part. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

We know more now. We believe that we can safely reduce the spread of COVID in our communities without requiring closing of sectors of our economy. To do this, we are asking each Nevadan to do your part in slowing the spread of COVID and protecting our most vulnerable. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

While the stay-at-home measures worked to “flatten the curve,” they also led to detrimental economic and social impacts that will take time to recover from. In the spring we did not have the experience or data to guide our decisions & had to rely on models & projections. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

When we first implemented stay-at-home orders, much of Nevada was closed, including many of our key industries. This action was taken to avoid overwhelming our healthcare facilities and to reduce COVID-related fatalities. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

We know from experience that temporarily decreasing our activity in the community can significantly reduce the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the burden on our healthcare system. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Do not have people outside of your household over for dinners, parties, or other gatherings at your home. Connect over Zoom or the phone. I know this is an enormous sacrifice for many people, but it is what needs to be done to stop the spread of the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Avoid gatherings -- large and small. Our businesses are doing what they can to keep employees and customers safe, but we need those employees and customers to practice all public health measures at home as well. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Think about changes like ordering groceries for delivery instead of going into the store or picking up dinner curbside from your favorite restaurant instead of sitting indoors with others who are NOT members of your household. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

If you don't have to go out, don't go out. Reduce your time in public to what is necessary & limit any & all exposure to those outside your household. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

As a result, for the next two weeks, Nevadans need to operate in a "Stay at Home 2.0" mentality to get things under control so our public health response infrastructure can catch up. We need that time to bring testing timelines down and catch up on contact tracing. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

The only proven way to control the current widespread transmission of COVID is to decrease mobility - that means staying home as much as we possibly can. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

To preserve our economy, we MUST refocus on preventing the spread of COVID-19. We have to go back to the basics, which by now are common knowledge. Wearing masks, maintaining social distance of at least 6 feet & limiting the risk of exposure are the ONLY ways we can keep going. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

The Nevada Hospital Association reports a continued upward trajectory of COVID-19 cases. Monday marked the highest recorded number of hospitalizations since mid-August, effectively erasing the progress made over the past 3 months. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

There were more than 1,300 new cases identified yesterday, and unfortunately, 7 additional deaths. Our 14-day test positivity rate is 13.7 percent. It’s continuing to climb. For the most recent 7-day period, cases are growing at a rate of 1.2%, or 1,326 new cases per day. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

But - and this is very important - in the next two weeks, we MUST see a significant reversal of the current trends, which are deeply concerning. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

We are walking a tightrope between maintaining faith services, commerce & rec. activity & protecting lives, frontline workers & healthcare infrastructure. We must act now to keep our economy open & eventually restore other vital parts of our life. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

But an accessible vaccine isn’t ready today & won’t be ready tomorrow, &, we can’t wait for a vaccine to get this deadly virus back to a manageable level. We don’t have much time to act to avoid a dangerous hospital surge & to keep our economy going & keep people at work. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I am encouraged by this week’s news about a potential COVID vaccine. It gives me hope and should give you hope. Our Nevada team is closely monitoring these updates and adjusting our vaccine distribution framework so we are ready when the time comes. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Our country & our state are on a rough course right now. New cases, hospitalizations and – tragically - fatalities are on the rise. The fall spike, predicted by medical & scientific experts, is now our reality. Nevadans need to accept this reality & change behaviors immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Good evening, thank you for being here tonight for this important COVID-19 update. Tonight, I am grateful that @RenownCEOTonyMD, the president & chief executive officer at Renown Health is here with me to share the burden COVID is having on our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

We’ll be starting shortly. Please tune in. — PolitiTweet.org
