LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Vegas Golden Knights and the Henderson Silver Knights dropped mask requirements at home games on Thursday following an announcement from Gov. Steve Sisolak that the statewide mask mandate was lifted -- effective immediately.
There are still instances where masks may be required, though. Sisolak said businesses and organizations have the right to enforce their own policies around masks, as do school districts.
Federally, masks remain required at airports, on planes, on buses and on school buses.
