Sisolak's forthcoming reopening plan, named \"Nevada United Road Map to Recovery,\" will start out by allowing hospitals to resume medically necessary procedures before beginning to ease restrictions on retail and outdoor activities.
\"We’re going to loosen up what some of the restrictions are. Unfortunately, we’re going to have to extend the stay-at-home order a little bit because we just have not reached exactly where we want to get in the downward trajectory,\" he said. \"Our statistics have plateaued. We’ve got almost 5,000 cases now in the state of Nevada and 225 fatalities.\"
\"Those numbers have kind of stabilized and our hospitalizations and intensive care hospitalizations have begun to decline,\" he continued. \"So that's what we're looking for to continue to bring our economy back to life a little bit.”
Amid pressure from Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman to reopen casinos and businesses right away, Sisolak said there would be multiple people involved in orchestrating that process as the proper safety measures need to be ensured.

“The strip is actually in Clark County. We’ve got a great partnership with Chairwoman Kirkpatrick at the county commission, and Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve in particular, to help us with the openings,\" he said. \"I’m in regular contact with the resort operators. It’s not something as simple as flipping a switch and suddenly everybody is going to come back to Las Vegas.\"
Sisolak said officials also need to \"work on the travel part\" together, which was one of the reasons Nevada joined with its adjoining states to help get people to come visit again.
\"The casino and the gaming enterprises will probably come in the third or the fourth phase of what we’re doing here because we’re just not ready yet to handle that type of a volume,\" Sisolak said.
\"We want everybody to come to Las Vegas. Reno's a great place to come and enjoy yourself. But it has to be safe both for our employees and for our visitors,\" he added. \"Our culinary union, for example ... that handles a lot of the strip. They’ve had 11 fatalities of their members and I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that they don’t double that number in the future.\"
