CARSON CITY (KTNV) – In response to a request from Governor Steve Sisolak to re-evaluate existing requirements for a 7 meter distance between performers and spectators and other measures to limit live entertainment and musical performance, the state epidemiologist and public health advisers have submitted new recommendations.
The recommendations include a minimum separation of minimum 6 feet for all live entertainment and performances only if performers and performers wear a mask or face cover at all times during the performance, or a minimum separation of at least 12 feet for all live entertainment and performances where performers and performers are exposed or temporarily and intermittently remove their masks or face covering during performances. In addition to existing risk mitigation measures for live entertainment and performances, public health consultants also strongly recommend that performers participate in regular COVID-19 testing.
