Covid 19 lasg places temporary ban on large religious gatherings

You're referring to the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken by the Las Vegas area to mitigate the spread of the virus.

Yes, you're correct. In March 2020, the Clark County Commission, which governs Las Vegas, issued a directive temporarily banning large gatherings, including religious services, to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

The directive, which was issued on March 17, 2020, prohibited gatherings of 50 people or more, including religious services, weddings, and funerals, in an effort to reduce the risk of transmission of the virus.

The ban was put in place to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, which was rapidly spreading across the United States at the time. The directive was intended to reduce the number of people gathering in close proximity, which is a key factor in the transmission of the virus.

The ban was in effect for several weeks, during which time many religious institutions in the Las Vegas area suspended in-person services and instead held virtual services or other alternative arrangements.

It's worth noting that the ban was not a permanent measure, and it was eventually lifted as the situation improved and public health officials deemed it safe to resume larger gatherings.
