Sisolak's order gave thousands of businesses in the tourism capital less than a day to prepare. The order from Democrat Steve Sisolak Tuesday night follows similar moves by more than 10 other governors as states scramble to mitigate the risk of exposure to COVID-19. 'We absolutely must take this step for every Nevadan's health and safety. 'Today it's clear additional steps must be taken immediately in order to slow the spread of this deadly virus in our state,' Sisolak said at a news conference in Las Vegas. Bars, movie theaters and gyms should also close by noon Wednesday and restaurants should shutter their dining rooms and only offer takeout or delivery in order to stem the spread of the new coronavirus, said Gov.
