LAS VEGAS, June 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Caesars
Entertainment Corporation (NASDAQ: CZR) ("Caesars", "Caesars
Entertainment" or the "Company") today announced that everyone
indoors at its properties across the Caesars network will be
required to wear masks at all times, except when eating or
drinking. The updated mask policy becomes effective on June 24, 2020 at 12 p.m.
Pacific Time and applies to all employees, vendors,
contractors, guests and passersby in properties. Previously, all
employees plus guests at table games were required to wear masks at
Caesars properties.
"We promised that Caesars would continue to evaluate the latest
recommendations, directives and medical science regarding the
COVID-19 public health emergency and modify our enhanced health and
safety protocols accordingly," said Tony
Rodio, CEO of Caesars Entertainment. "As a result, we are
immediately requiring everyone in our properties to wear masks,
because the scientific evidence strongly suggests that wearing
masks and practicing social distancing may be the most important
deterrents to spreading COVID-19 from person to person," he
added.
Caesars will continue to implement all the enhanced health and
safety requirements in its revised operating plans. Also, the
Company will take steps to ensure that everyone inside its
properties wears a mask. Anyone who refuses to wear a mask, after
being asked, will be directed to leave the property.
The universal mask requirement will apply to all of Caesars
businesses currently open in Louisiana, Mississippi, Iowa, Missouri, Nevada, and Indiana, as well as tribal properties in
Arizona, California and North Carolina. The mask
requirement will also apply to additional Caesars properties as
they reopen in Maryland,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois and Ontario. Caesars will continue to open
properties in line with regulatory approvals and customer
demand.
Among the enhanced health and safety protocols are more frequent
cleaning and sanitization. Caesars has also implemented a health
screening program for all employees. For more information on the
