In the past few months, the individual establishments have been encouraged to receive only a certain number of guests.

Falling infection numbers

Since US President Joe Biden took office, the United States has one Large vaccination and educational offensive started, to gradually push the corona pandemic back. After almost three months in office, the undertaking now seems to be gradually bearing fruit. According to the official figures of the National Health Authority CDC, more than 183 million vaccine doses have so far been administered nationwide. Around 45 percent of adults in the country would have received a vaccination accordingly. 27 percent of the adult US citizens are fully vaccinated. Numbers that let normal life return to the individual states and cities in slow steps.

In Nevada, too, the situation seems to normalize itself for some time.

The US state currently acts as the highest authority of the legislative and specifies the course according to the course. According to the “Las Vegas Sun”, this should change from May 1st.

Vaccination progress in USA

In contrast to the United States, the large vaccine in USA continues to be a long time coming. According to the official figures of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) Almost 5.2 million people are vaccinated against the Corona virus in the Federal Republic. The slow vaccination progress is not only due to the lack of vaccine, but also is also based on the official vaccination regulation of the Federal Government, which in turn is based on various prioritization groups.
