LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada state and local officials implored people to heed the governor's directive to wear masks and keep safe distances apart, while acknowledging they await a possible increase in coronavirus cases following Independence Day revelry.
Clark County Commission Chairwoman Marilyn Kirkpatrick cited news reports and cellphone video of a July 4 party in a Las Vegas desert area that apparently drew a crowd of hundreds of people not wearing masks or keeping a recommended six feet apart.
She said that's not the way to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
