Nevada is not currently experiencing concerns related to hospital saturation or critical infrastructure overload based on COVID patients, with relative demand placed on hospitals by COVID at approximately 10%. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

As of today, for the most recent 7-day period, cases are growing at a rate of .8% or 666 new cases per day. For comparison, the growth rate for the 7-day period at the beginning of September was .5% or 332 new cases per day. — PolitiTweet.org

Here in NV we are seeing significant trends in new cases. According to the White House COVID19 report, we are in the red zone for cases (24th highest in country). We are in the orange zone for test positivity (16th highest in country). Our 14-day test positivity rate is 9.1% — PolitiTweet.org

As we watch this third wave, we see a number of states experiencing concerning increases in cases and in their hospitalizations. One of biggest challenges of #COVID19 is the speed at which it spreads and impacts our health systems and communities. — PolitiTweet.org

In America and around the globe we've seen evidence of a fall surge. Nationally, we've surpassed 8 million known cases & last Friday, the U.S. had 70k new infections in one day, the highest one-day total since July. Sadly, there have been nearly 219,000 deaths to date in the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

This includes our goal of getting kids back to school in the safest way possible. Our students and parents are struggling, and luckily Superintendent Ebert & @NevadaReady has been working tirelessly to identify solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I know this pandemic has been exhausting & overwhelming, but our mission remains unchanged: - Follow public health recommendations - Mitigate the spread to prevent more deaths & protect our health care system - Protect our economy & businesses - Get kids back to school safely — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I am not announcing a new directive or more restrictions. I want to be able to continue on the path we’re currently on. I want to open more, not close. I want kids back in school. I want Nevadans back to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Wearing a face covering helps slow the spread of #COVID19 in our communities. Thank you, @RenownCEOTonyMD, for the reminder. #MaskUpNV — PolitiTweet.org

In NV, we allow gatherings of up to 250 people or 50% capacity, whichever is less, but only if all mitigation requirements are followed. We even allow larger gatherings if strict standards are met & a safety plan is approved at the local & state level. https://t.co/HTdh6Mil4d — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

This doesn’t mean we can’t keep our businesses open or gather. But we must do it safely and follow all public health mitigation measures. In case outsiders missed it, here’s what’s allowed & must be followed in NV: — PolitiTweet.org

Because unlike the President, not every Nevadan and American who is infected with COVID-19 has access to Walter Reed medical center, countless doctors & treatments. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

And right now, that responsibility includes telling the President of the United States that hosting a large gathering without adhering to guidance from his own @CDCgov & requirements developed by State health officials is reckless & dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I know some will take this as a political statement, but let me be clear: as the Governor of the great State of Nevada, I have the responsibility of protecting all residents - regardless of their political affiliation. I take that seriously. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

It’s our responsibility as Americans to practice the public health measures that federal, state & local health officials all agree on. And it’s the obligation of America’s leaders to follow that same advice. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

As I mentioned yesterday, our cases are rising — similar to the increasing trends we are seeing nationwide. How do we mitigate? We listen to health officials: We wear masks. We practice social distancing. We don’t hold large gatherings where these measures aren’t followed. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

COVID-19 isn’t political. It doesn’t know there’s an upcoming election. On the other hand, the virus is highly infectious. According to the CDC, about 2/3 of COVID infections come from people who show no symptoms. That's why health officials recommend avoiding large gatherings. — 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

We are closely monitoring our current situation & I will be providing Nevadans with more updates this week on our data and trends. Thank you for sticking together and looking out for one another. Please remain vigilant and #MaskUpNV. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Getting the flu shot is a critical component in our effort to protect NV in this pandemic. It’s critical that we don’t overwhelm our hospitals & medical facilities and prevent folks from getting the care they need. Visit @ImmunizeNV for info on how to get a #flushot. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

What we do as Nevadans in the coming days & weeks will help determine the impact of a fall surge. We started this fight against #COVID19 with an eye towards protecting one another & protecting our fragile healthcare system. As we head into flu season, those goals cannot change. — PolitiTweet.org
