Nevada Residents Protest Virus Regulations At County Meeting

RENO, Nev. (AP) — County officials in Nevada have said more than 60 residents testified about coronavirus restrictions during a Washoe County commissioners and that some argued against mask mandates.

The Reno Gazette-Journal reports that all residents voiced their concerns Tuesday about businesses being destroyed and children lacking quality education while either not wearing masks or wearing them improperly.

None of the commissioners reminded residents of a statewide mask mandate that requires masks be worn. Commission Chair Bob Lucey says officers patrolled aisles and removed at least five people who did not follow the rules.
