On March 23, 2020 Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak signed a State of Emergency Declaration barring Nevada's doctors from prescribing the anti-malaria drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine for use against COVID-19.

According to Concordia Pharmaceuticals Inc, Nevada's Department of Corrections ordered a large quantity of their anti-malaria Hydroxychloroquine drug under the name Plaquenli.

Nevada's prisons have reported no confirmed cases of prisoners infected with the COVID 19 virus to date.

The Nevada Board of Pharmacies and the governor claimed the order barring doctors from prescribing the drug was to "stop hoarding".

Gov. Sisolak refused to reverse his order even after the FDA issued an emergency order earlier this week approving the drug for use against COVID 19.
