Nevada still has elevated COVID-19 transmission risk, including in Clark and Washoe, our largest counties. The directive I’ll be signing to extend this moratorium seeks to maintain public safety during COVID-19 as Nevada transitions to programs that protect landlords and tenants.

I originally put a residential eviction moratorium in place to keep Nevadans safe during #COVID19. Keeping Nevadans in their homes was safer than them making emergency shared housing or shelter arrangements, which increase the risk of spread. That still remains true today.
