ELKO -- More Elko businesses are reopening in line with Gov. Steve Sisolak’s Phase 2 directives, which allow bars, gyms, movie theaters and shopping malls to serve customers if they follow certain coronavirus safety restrictions.
Churches were allowed to reopen this weekend with up to 50 parishioners. JC Penney is reopening at noon Wednesday. The Elko Swimming Pool is set to reopen on June 8. And movie theaters here could start screening films by June 19.
Bars were allowed to reopen Friday, although for some the process will take longer.
“We started remodeling about a month ago and refurbished the entire bar,” said Mike Reynolds, owner of the Stray Dog Pub and Café.
