Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak on Feb. 10 became the latest Democratic governor to ease or remove mask mandates in recent days, despite federal health officials’ recommendation to keep masking in most settings.

Sisolak, who is up for reelection in 2022, said in publicly available remarks that “given all of these updates and the tools we have, now is the appropriate time for me to announce that Nevada will rescind our mask mandate, effective immediately.”
