I would expect the court to determine it was at the declaration of local or state emergency, notification of guidance, and governors mask mandate. If the employee willfully disregarded suggested protections, then the employee owns the risk. If the employer didn’t require the associate to wear a mask and remain 6 ft or more during prolonged contact with the customer (which was the guidance then), the employer can be found at fault. Also, during this time, only essential businesses (this is a broad and relatively non-descript category) identified in the governors declaration were supposed to be operating. Dependent on the timeline of when Nevada left phase 1 and into phase 2, the employer could also face blame for operating outside of prescription.
