Nevada governor extends 'pause' for another month
Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak extended his state's coronavirus restrictions through at least Jan. 15 as COVID-19 cases and deaths surge in the Silver State.
Nearly every state in the U.S. reports more than 100 people hospitalized per million, according to the COVID Tracking Project. However, Nevada reports 592, which translates into one out of 1,700 people in the state, according to the project.
"We continue to see an increase of hospitalizations statewide with almost 1,700 Nevadans battling COVID as of Friday," Sisolak said at a press conference Sunday.
The governor also announced Sunday that he would sign an order to place a moratorium on most residential evictions in Nevada.
Since the start of the pandemic, Nevada has had more than 186,000 cases, with at least 2,529 deaths.
