States continue to make moves to combat coronavirus |
| Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak announced Thursday that Nevada would reimplement restrictions on bars and restaurants in certain counties to prevent further spread of coronavirus due to what he called a "spike" in confirmed cases. The directive is the second time Nevada has tightened restrictions since moving to phase two of its Roadmap to Recovery in early June. Under the new directive, which began Friday at midnight and will be in effect indefinitely, bars that do not serve food will close their doors and end counter service. Restaurants also will stop serving parties of six or more. In Kentucky, amid "an explosion of COVID," all residents must wear masks in public starting at 5 p.m. Friday, Gov. Andy Beshear announced. His new executive order will last 30 days from July 10 and will be enforced by health departments. Exceptions will include kids under 5 and people with breathing problems. |
