Office of the Governor
March 10, 2020
Good morning,
1 am extremely gratified to let you know that you are returning to Nevada and not going to a
military base in another state due to your potential exposure to COVID-19 aboard the Grand
Princess cruise ship. My office has been working around the clock with federal agencies and state
and local health authorities to coordinate your return home in the most efficient and safe manner.
‘You will receive a call today from your local health authority to evaluate your home situation
and ensure that you are prepared for the required isolation period. With your return home,
Nevada’s state and local health authorities are prepared to support and safeguard you and your
family, friends, and community in the most efficient manner possible to protect everyone involved
from the potential spread of COVID-19.
‘The federal authorities are responsible for determining the timing and specifics of your flight back
to Nevada. That is not within the state’s control, but we understand that information will be
forthcoming to all of you directly.
I recognize that the lack of information and misinformation has resulted in considerable anxiety and
frustration. Your congressional delegation, state and local health authorities, and I strongly share
your frustration. Please know that we have all been working extremely hard to protect your health
and safety as well as that of all Nevadans. I can assure you that my frustration will be loudly and
clearly expressed to leaders in Washington D.C. I appreciate all of you reaching out to my office,
and we continue to stand ready to serve as a resource for your safe retum,
Sincerely,
Steve Sisolak
Governor
