Nevada COVID-19 Panel OKs Reopening Bars In Las Vegas, Elko

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Bars in and around Las Vegas can reopen after this weekend with limited capacity, distance between customers and facial coverings.

Nevada's coronavirus response task force decided Thursday that drinking establishments also can reopen at midnight Sunday in Elko County.

The moves relaxed the last of the bar closure orders that Gov. Steve Sisolak re-imposed more than two months ago to limit gatherings where alcohol is served in the state's coronavirus pandemic hot spot areas.
