LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak is extending his order closing the state's casinos, schools and non-essential businesses by two weeks, keeping the state's hospitality industry and most other business shuttered until the end of April.

The new order mirrors national social distancing guidelines that President Donald Trump decided over the weekend to extend until April 30 to stem the spread of the coronavirus.

Sisolak on Wednesday also issued a statewide directive telling Nevadans to stay at home, with an exception for essential trips including doctor or healthcare visits, taking a pet to the vet, buying groceries, going to a pharmacy or picking up restaurant takeout food. The directive does not apply to the homeless, and it allows people to leave homes for exercise as long as they stay at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) apart and are not meeting up with people outside their household.

Unlike similar directives issued by governors in some other states, it does not include penalties for violations. It mirrors requests Sisolak has been making publicly since mid-March.

At least 31 people have died of the coronavirus in Nevada, and more than 1,000 people in the state have been diagnosed with the COVID-19.

Most people with the virus experience mild or moderate fever and coughing that clear up in two to three weeks. Some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, can face severe illness, including pneumonia and death.

In other coronavirus developments:

— Some gates, concession areas and a security checkpoint were closed at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas after officials cited reduced passenger traffic. The airport said a terminal serving international flights remains open for ticketing, check-in and security screenings, but the concourse serving primarily international flights would close Wednesday. Flight departures were shifted to the main terminal, where one of four concourses also closed.

— Union nurses planned a job action at one Las Vegas hospital to call for protective gear and preparedness to treat people with COVID-19. National Nurses United said Mountainview Hospital was one of 15 HCA Healthcare facilities in seven states where registered nurses don’t have enough personal protective equipment.

— Officials said up to 1,000 beds could be provided at about 12 Las Vegas-area hotels, motels, convention halls, surgical centers and warehouses to shelter recuperating coronavirus patients who don’t need hospitalization. Clark County Commission Chairman Marilyn Kirkpatrick said more sites were sought. The facilities are in addition to a 40-bed temporary hospital being built next to the Southern Nevada Health District office and a 350-bed tent complex under construction next to Cashman Center for homeless people who need isolation but not hospitalization.

— The Nevada branch of the Service Employees International Union decried a decision by Clark County on Tuesday to suspend collective bargaining agreements of thousands of members, including hospital workers. Grace Vergara-Mactal, the executive director of SEIU Local 1107, said the decision is “wrong” and “dangerous” and leaves workers vulnerable. Clark County spokesman Erik Pappa did not immediately have a statement to share explaining the decision.
