DHHS provides clarification on Emergency Directive 052 for health facilities In light of Gov. Sisolak lifting the state’s indoor mask mandate today, the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH) is providing clarifying guidance related to health care settings. All health care facilities must continue to implement all infection control practices — including masking — in accordance with applicable state and federal laws (statutes) and regulations. These necessary infection control measures to prevent both the spread of COVID-19 and to reduce the risk of severe outcomes have been consistently provided to health care facilities throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and will continue to be provided in the same manner. State health officials and regulators have drafted a technical bulletin (see attached) to provide guidance on how the Governor’s emergency directive impacts the Division of Public and Behavioral Health’s licensed health care facilities. The bulletin is also posted on the DPBH technical bulletins web page.
