Nevada Group Protests Mask Mandate Outside Governor's Home

LAS VEGAS (AP) — About 100 people gathered outside the Nevada governor's private home in Las Vegas to protest a mask mandate intended to limit the spread of COVID-19.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that political action committee No Mask Nevada planned the Monday demonstration after Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak implemented the order.

The group started with about 50 people and nearly doubled within an hour.
