But dont expect more people at certain government agencies like the DMV, at least for the time being. The agency said it will be adding more chairs in the waiting area inside but wont be able to expand appointments. The pandemic creating staffing issues at the agency.

Well, were holding 64 positions open throughout the department for possible budget cuts as well. Due to the state's improved budget picture, the legislature was able to restore those cuts, so now were hiring and training people, said Kevin Malone, Nevada DMV public information officer.

The DMV says those new employees will be working by mid-August. For now, people are being asked to book online appointments; so, they will be able to conduct their business. The goal? Making the DMV an appointment-based agency.

So, please go on our website and make an appointment early in the morning. It will be 90 days out. If you have an appointment, youre not going to be able to keep, please go back on the website and cancel it, he said.
