You are the owner of this article.Welcome,LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -- Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak announced the stay-at-home order will be extended through May 15 with easing restrictions starting May 1."This new directive signed today will allow Nevadans expanded outdoor and recreational activities and provide some relief for our small business owners," according to a press release from the governor's office.These changes include:Sisolak said the above measures are effective May 1. , "or until the state meets the necessary&nbsp;criteria set forth last week and consistent with the White House guidelines to demonstrate the state is making sufficient&nbsp;progress to slow the spread of COVID-19."The easing of certain restrictions comes with the state meeting "specific benchmarks," said Sisolak, including positive case and hospitalization trends, along with testing and capacity.&nbsp;“Nevadans have done an incredible job at staying home for our state, and as we work diligently to meet the reopening criteria, I wanted to&nbsp;begin some initial incremental changes that will make our full transition into Phase 1 smoother and positively impact our communities and small businesses,”&nbsp;said Sisolak in an emailed statement.&nbsp;“Our ability to enter the next phase and any subsequent phase&nbsp;of reopening&nbsp;will be determined by the continued commitment of Nevadans to follow aggressive social distancing guidance and requirements.”&nbsp;"Being able to sell. Being able to have revenue coming in, albeit tremendously reduced revenue, but being able to have something to pay their employees with. All those are very positive steps and very positive movement in the right direction," said&nbsp;Maria Bailey, president of the Water Street District Business Association. "The restaurants, the breweries they are able to do curbside already, so it's not a tremendous change in what they are doing and it's probably not going to be enough to help the business that are struggling."Bailey said they're doing webinars with their businesses to help showcase their merchandise since customers are not allowed inside. "We're also doing social media, encouraging our businesses to do virtual tours on social media."Salons, barber shops, bars, casinos, "among other things," will stay closed under the extended directive. Essential businesses will stay open and must comply with social distancing standards and other protocols to keep workers and patrons safe.&nbsp;On Thursday, Sisolak will outline the projected phases for "reopening" Nevada through the pandemic.&nbsp; by on Scribd by on ScribdThis is a developing story.

I live in an apartment community and apparently the people living here have heard of no such order. Cars come and go all the time. It's a senior community and even children are running about!"Relaxing restrictions on outdoor activities, including golf, pickleball, and tennis"- Boy am I glad we can get all of our pickleball leagues up and running again. How about opening Red Rock Canyon again? You know, where it's a vast outdoor expanse?Americans do not know the laws. No governor can close ANY business for a matter like this. It has to be an EXECUTIVE ORDER . And EXECUTIVE ORDERS can only be made by the POTUS. Businesses just need to open up on their own and nothing can be done. Also police can not do a thing about itAll most logical small business people and unemployed people are asking for is guidance. I notice the governor is not reaching into the rainy day fund to help small business, help keep people employed or even helping develop a testing plan like Arizona has... Why has not UNR or UNLV come up with testing plans and even tests like University of Arizona ? Its time for this state to reflect what we are spending our tax dollars on.WE MUST PEACEFULLY PROTEST UNTIL THE ENTIRE STATE AND ALL BUSINESSES ARE COMPLETELY OPERATIONAL!! THIS UNCONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNOR HAS HIS DAYS NUMBERED AND WE MUST TAKE BACK OUR STATE!!You have the right to protest, but everything the governor has done is clearly allowed under the Nevada Constitution and he is not the first Nevada Governor to use such powers.I find it very interesting that he waits until the day before the original order was to expire to announce the extension. The "Fight for Nevada" recall Governor Sisolack petition has to be turned in by the 14th of May...of course you would have to venture out to a location that is accepting signatures...Hmmm....What a joke! This guy is so far in over his head.He can not make a decision, and he is the supposed leader of Nevada, big joke!Remember to vote him out of office, he is stomping on our Constitutional rights!LolYes False, we are laughing at you and look forward to driving by you with your "will work for food sign". Bye Bye little one ...Keep it Clean. Please avoid obscene, vulgar, lewd,racist or sexually-oriented language.PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK.Don't Threaten.
