Nevada Governor's Staff Member Tests Positive For COVID-19

RENO, Nev. (AP) — Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak will be tested for coronavirus and work out of his Las Vegas office indefinitely after a positive COVID-19 test was confirmed for one of his staff members working at his office in the state Capitol in Carson City.

Communications director Meghin Delaney said Tuesday the staffer has not had in-person contact with the Democratic governor since mid-September.

She says Sisolak departed northern Nevada on Sept. 17 and has been working from Las Vegas since then. He was scheduled to return to Carson City next week. But his travel is on hold until they get test results for all staffers there.
