- Ke piʻi nei ka nui o nā hihia COVID-19 ma Las Vegas, Nevada, e like me ka hihia ma nā wahi he nui a puni ka ʻāina a puni ka hona.
- ʻAʻole kēia he koi mana, no ka mea ʻo ka mokuʻāina mokuʻāina a me nā kūlanakauhale wale nō ke kauoha iā ia.
- Ua hele mai ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo mask ma hope o ka hōʻike ʻana o nā luna olakino i nehinei 938 mau hihia hou ma ka ʻāina holoʻokoʻa - ʻo ka lele loa hoʻokahi lā mai Pepeluali - a he 15 mau make hou.
Hoʻopili kēia ʻōlelo koi ikaika i nā casino, nā ʻahamele, a me nā hui kalepa kahi i hoʻonui ʻia ai ka ʻoihana ʻoiai ua hāpai ʻia nā kapu a ua hoʻihoʻi piha ka mokuʻāina i nā kaohi o ka maʻi pandemi i nā kalana ma kahi o 7 mau pule i hala.
"Pono nā kānaka āpau a wīwī ʻole e hoʻokomo i nā pale maka ke komo lākou i nā wahi lehulehu… e like me nā hale kūʻai, nā hale kūʻai, nā hanana nui a me nā casino," i haʻi aku ai ʻo Kauka Fermin Leguen, ka luna olakino o ka ʻāina i nā mea kūkala nūhou. Ke hoʻomau nei nā keʻena lāʻau lapaʻau a me nā hoʻokolohua ʻana ma nā pūnaewele a puni ka ʻāina, ua hoʻohui ʻo Leguen.
Ua kū ka helu o ka maʻi koʻokoʻo i nā mau pule i hala iho nei ma Nevada, kahi mokuʻāina me nā libertarian leanings kahi i hōʻike ai nā luna olakino i ka Pōʻalima e pili ana i ka 55 pākēneka o nā kamaʻāina 12 mau makahiki a ʻoi paha i loaʻa i hoʻokahi kaila o Pākuʻi COVID-19. Ma ka moku'āina holoʻokoʻa, ma kahi o 46.3 ka pākēneka e hoʻopiha piha ʻia i ka lāʻau āpau. Ma ka pae ʻāina, ua loaʻa he 68 pākēneka o nā mākua ma ka liʻiliʻi i hoʻokahi mahele lāʻau o ka lāʻau lapaʻau, e like me nā Centers for Disease Control and Prevent.
Ua hoʻopuka kahi luna me ka ʻuniona ma kahi o 60,000 mau limahana ʻo Nevada casino i kahi ʻōlelo e hōʻike ana i nā pilikia i kau ʻia i ka poʻe hana e ka poʻe ʻaʻole i lāʻau. Ua kuhikuhi aku ka luna o Culinary Union Geoconda Argüello-Kline i ka ʻike CDC i ʻoi aku ma mua o ka 97 pākēneka o ka poʻe i loaʻa i ka haukapila ma COVID-19 i loaʻa ʻole kahi lāʻau lapaʻau.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- Vaccination rates have stalled in recent weeks in Nevada, a state with libertarian leanings where health officials reported Friday that about 55 percent of residents 12 years and older have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
- Ke piʻi nei ka nui o nā hihia COVID-19 ma Las Vegas, Nevada, e like me ka hihia ma nā wahi he nui a puni ka ʻāina a puni ka hona.
- An official with the union representing 60,000 Nevada casino employees issued a statement noting the risks posed to workers by people who are not vaccinated.
