Keeping Casinos Clean Amid an Epidemic

July 7, 2020

Many casinos began reopening at the beginning of June as some states entered the second phase of reopening. View this episode of Straight Talk to learn about detailed health guidelines for casinos to reopen, including measures like handwashing stations, the use of face masks and gloves, cleaning and disinfection protocols for high touchpoints, and enforcing physical distancing among staff and guests. The guidelines also require comprehensive training for casino employees on COVID-19 safety and disinfection protocols.

The “new normal” for casinos include temperature checks for employees on arrival, proper personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves and face masks provided to employees free of charge, additional training for employees on COVID-19 safety, and physical markings and floor guides to help ensure guests maintain physical distance as they move through the casino.
