Foxwoods Resort Casino to reopen 1 June20 May 2020(PRESS RELEASE) -- Foxwoods Resort Casino has announced that the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Council has authorized a limited reopening of the property and Foxwoods plans to resume 24/7 operations beginning 1 June 2020 at 9:00 a.m., following a phased reopening approach. As part of its ongoing commitment to ensuring a safe environment, Foxwoods has established new safety protocols and operating procedures in partnership with medical experts for phase one of the reopening plan. These comprehensive new measures are aimed at mitigating health risks for both guests and employees and will be reevaluated and updated continuously as necessary. New protocols and resort updates included in phase one are as follows:
“The safety, health and wellbeing of our guests, team members and local communities has been – and will remain – our number one priority as we all ease back into a ‘new normal’ way of life,” said Jason Guyot, Foxwoods’ Interim CEO & SVP of Resort Operations. “Foxwoods is in a unique position, given the size of our physical space and our geographic location, to allow for social distancing within our resort. We’ve taken significant guidance from our Chief Medical Officer, external expertise, our Tribal regulators, and the CDC to develop a new set of health guidelines that help create an environment where our guests can experience moments of joy and celebration safely and responsibility. We have been working hard to develop the best possible plan for helping the state of Connecticut recover safely from the economic impact of this pandemic.” In addition to the above protocols, all team members will receive training on infectious disease (with a heavy focus on COVID-19) safety and sanitation protocols to further ensure guest and team member safety. More comprehensive training will be provided for teams with frequent guest contact including Housekeeping, Food & Beverage, Environmental Services, Hotel Operations, Gaming, Retail, Entertainment and Security. |
