Commission to consider plan to open Lyon County

The Lyon County Commission will conduct a special meeting next week to address a plan to transition from State control of COVID response and recovery to local control. The plan, titled Restore Lyon County, has been endorsed by the City of Fernley, City of Yerington, Lyon County School District and was recommended for approval by the Local Emergency Planning Committee on April 8. 

The County Commission will take action at 9 a.m. April 14, and then the plan will be heard by State COVID Task Force later that morning. The plan calls for opening of all businesses and gatherings with social distancing and face covering guidelines in place. The plan identifies those business types that are under the jurisdiction of the State of Nevada and provides that those businesses must follow the State mandates.

A copy of the plan can be found: https://www.lyon-county.org/DocumentCenter/View/10152/RLC-sec-1 and https://www.lyon-county.org/DocumentCenter/View/10153/RLC-Sec-2
