A new emergency mask order has been put into place in the state of Nevada. According to the Reno Gazette Journal, 12 of 17 Nevada counties will now order people, vaccinated or not, to wear masks in public indoor spaces. Clark County, home to Allegiant Stadium and WWE’s Summerslam event was included in the order. The new mandate starts on Friday at 12:01am

Other counties affected by the mandate are Carson, Churchill, Douglas, Elko, Esmeralda, Lincoln, Lyon, Mineral, Nye, Washoe and White Pine. Clark County accounts for over 80% of COVID-19 cases in the state. The vaccination rate in the county is 39%.
