It was great to have a socially distanced meet and greet with one of the projects funded through the Block Grant Program. Their ongoing work and support of fellow Nevadans is tremendous! — PolitiTweet.org

Friday marks the end of early voting in Nevada & we are just one week away from Election Day. I want to encourage all Nevadans to take advantage of early voting opportunities - regardless of who you vote for. If you’re planning to drop your ballot in the mail - don’t delay! — PolitiTweet.org

This morning, I was pleased to participate in the 2020 Nevada Housing Summit, hosted by @HousingNevada. Housing touches all Nevadans & the pandemic has shown access to stable housing is fundamental to public health. I look forward to the results of this collaborative meeting! https://t.co/swduZPmKXr — PolitiTweet.org

Independent vaccine review is a common practice & I am glad we can work together with other western states in this process. This is one extra layer of review & protection on top of the robust standards set forth by the CDC and FDA. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you for having me this morning! — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Nevadans will be able to feel confident in the safety of vaccine knowing a review by experts across the West gave it their seal of approval. This process will be happening in lockstep with the federal process. The goal is to not have this independent review cause a delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Today, I am proud to announce NV is joining @CAgovernor @OregonGovBrown & @GovInslee to independently review the safety & efficacy of any vaccine approved by the FDA. I am thrilled to work with the Western States Pact by bringing together the best & brightest scientific minds. https://t.co/85ZvY4dvIB — PolitiTweet.org

Directive 033 eased some restrictions on Open Houses and In-Person Showings. Check out this helpful guidance from the Real Estate Division of the NV Dept, of Business & Industry: https://t.co/gIPjxEdJPK — PolitiTweet.org

Nevada: I know this isn't easy, but we can do this together. Let's make the right choices. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Especially in flu season, getting a flu shot is more important than ever. Combo of flu and COVID could place an additional burden on our hospitals. Do your part. @ImmunizeNV has locations and more information on flu shots. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

ALL TOGETHER NOW: Wear face coverings   Practice social distancing Wash your hands Avoid crowds If you are sick or have been exposed, please isolate   Get a test if you had a positive contact or symptoms — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

These are our choices, Nevada. I choose our students. I choose jobs. I choose our economy. I need all of Nevada -- every single one of us -- to unite to make these choices together by following ALL public health measures. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Will you prioritize our small businesses over the annoyance of a mask. Will you consider the fatigue of our healthcare workers more than our own? — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

All Nevadans must ask themselves these questions: Do you care more about getting kids back into the classroom than going to that big Halloween party? Do you care about getting Nevadans back to work more than having a gathering at your home with no masks or social distancing? — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

These are just some of the goals we are working on, but whether we can get there depends on public cooperation. We as Nevadans have some choices to make.... — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I’m also working with health & education leaders to determine how we can get students back into the classroom as soon as possible in a safe & responsible manner. I know we can do it, but we ALL must be invested. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I'm doing all I can to move forward. In fact, I'm currently working on a plan to increase capacity to 50 percent for conventions by Jan. 1, 2021. I know this will help get Nevadans back to work & bolster our economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

There’s proof of this around the country where some states are seeing hospitalizations reach dangerous, record-breaking levels. It would be irresponsible for me to minimize the risk our State is facing. We as Nevadans have some tough choices to make. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

And while our healthcare infrastructure continues to be moderately impacted by COVID-19 hospitalizations at this time, we know from experience that an increase in cases ultimately leads to an increase in hospitalizations. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I also wanted to take this opportunity to follow up on our COVID numbers. On Saturday, the State reported over 1,000 cases, and as of today 8 of Nevada’s 17 counties have been flagged for elevated disease transmission. https://t.co/Vjqjgrxujh — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Again, we want to stress that initial supplies of vaccine are expected to be limited and therefore will be prioritized for populations most at risk for exposure to COVID-19.  We are committed to an equitable distribution of a safe vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

We are working with our partners statewide including providers, pharmacies, tribes & a statewide immunization coalition to prepare for a variety of distribution scenarios when the vaccine becomes available & we have information on the amount of vaccine allocated to Nevada. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Vaccine distribution will involve ultra-cold storage & handling requirements, 2 doses that are not interchangeable between products, plus safely vaccinating people while in a pandemic. This monumental task will represent the greatest public health effort of a generation. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

To develop NV's COVID-19 vaccine plan we had to consider a variety of factors to be prepared for different vaccines when they becomes available Some criteria may change, but, from what we know, there will be challenges related to storing, handling & distributing this vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

We know vaccine hesitancy is in the news a lot & people have concerns, but we can be confident a vaccine will not be released if it has not been deemed safe & effective by the FDA & the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

To meet the aggressive timeline of the fed govt's Operation Warp Speed, the COVID-19 vaccine is being manufactured while in the clinical trial phase. That's why a vaccine will be available as soon as the manufacturer can present a strong case to the FDA for emergency use. — PolitiTweet.org
