Our case numbers are decreasing and so is our seven-day average test positivity rate. This week, the Nevada Hospital Association reported the lowest confirmed numbers since early July, and we continue to experience a downward trajectory of COVID-19 hospitalizations. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Every single morning, I come in and ask my staff for the latest numbers. I want to see the positive trends and the decreases. I want to lift restrictions. Right now, our numbers are trending in the right direction, but we started with high numbers. — PolitiTweet.org

This has been overwhelming for our country and our State and resulted in many sleepless nights. I know mentally and emotionally, we all want this to be over, and to get back to normal. That’s what I want too... — PolitiTweet.org

Saturday marks 6 months since our first case of #COVID19 in Nevada. I wanted to take some time today to talk directly to you about what we’ve learned and why I’m hopeful about our future... — PolitiTweet.org

Tune into my press conference now: — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I had a chance to talk to the hardworking staff at @ClarkCountySch Keller Middle School, under Principal Brockett. I know all our teachers across the state are doing their very best for our students and I’m glad to take time to thank some of them for what they do. https://t.co/75xdg2UjR3 — PolitiTweet.org

I Iook forward to alternative, virtual commemorations of Veterans Day and to welcoming back larger celebrations when it is safe to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

This Veterans Day, as we reflect on the sacrifices & dedication of the brave men & women who selflessly served our country, I ask we all recommit to wearing face coverings & following social distancing guidelines in an effort to protect our Veterans as they've protected us. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I appreciate the hard work and dedication of the organizers and veteran community every year to put on this parade - sometimes called the Largest Veterans Day parade west of the Mississippi. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I understand the difficult decision event organizers had to make in these challenging times, and recognizes their commitment to the health and safety of their staff, volunteers, and most importantly, our Veterans. — PolitiTweet.org

Here in our own country and state, that includes heartbreaking postponements or cancellations of some of our most celebrated traditions and milestone moments-- including longstanding events on Veterans Day. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I announced 19 appointments to Nevada boards, commissions and agencies during the month of August. Anyone interested in serving Nevada should review the opportunities posted online at https://t.co/Hi0af25DCh https://t.co/uRWcrs1Z7b — PolitiTweet.org

I am confident that in the next 45 days all of the various agencies & organizations will work as fast as possible to make sure these programs are up & running to help Nevada’s renters + landlords continue to navigate these unprecedented times. Thank you. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

But the unemployment backlog is one reason why I am extending the eviction moratorium. We do not want Nevadans getting evicted while awaiting a determination of their case. And the State will do all it can to get a resolution to outstanding claims. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

We are also piloting a new program which will allow people to verify their identity so they are more quickly connecting to benefits. Our hope is to make significant progress on the backlog over the next 45 days... — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

They are quickly recruiting staff to help those who are still waiting. Last week, 200 part-time welfare eligibility workers began training to assist w/ the backlog, & there are 200 more ready to come on board to help. Retired state employees are also being rehired to assist... — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, I am pleased to see the progress the DETR Rapid Response Strike Force has made under the direction of Barbara Buckley. And we know there is more work to be done. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

We can’t keep continuing this moratorium forever, so we need to ensure this program is up and running to allow for this type of this resolution. I know that during this time period, our court system will move as fast as possible to launch the new program. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

This extension will also help w/ the alternative dispute resolution, passed at special session of #nvleg. This will help people mediate potential solutions to mitigation in the courts. It's critical that tenants & landlords continue to work together to come to resolutions — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

And to our NV landlords, I recognize that this time is hard on you too. The rental assistance program makes payments DIRECTLY to landlords on the tenant’s behalf. That's why it was important to me to set aside an additional $10 million for this rental assistance program... — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I know our local govts are working to get funds out the door to landlords to keep qualified tenants in their homes. By adding this additional $ and approving this extension, I'm confident those processing short-term applications will be able to send more $ out the door faster... — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

In light of this extension & in an effort to provide more relief to tenants & landlords who are struggling to make ends meet by paying rent or mortgage payments, I am earmarking an additional $10 million in Coronavirus Relief Funds toward the short-term rental assistance program. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I originally approved $30 million in State Coronavirus Relief Funds to be used for this effort. That’s in addition to money set aside by local governments for rental assistance... — PolitiTweet.org
