PAHRUMP, Nev. (AP) — County officials in Nevada have asked the state's coronavirus task force for approval to reopen all liquor establishments in Nye County as the state witnesses a downward trend of confirmed COVID-19 cases.

Nye County officials said in the request that bars, pubs, taverns, breweries, distilleries and wineries should be able to open since "there have been no COVID cases" attributed to these establishments.

County Manager Tim Sutton sent the action plan Wednesday to the Nevada COVID-19 Mitigation and Management Task Force, also arguing that people are struggling because of the economic downfall caused by the pandemic.
