As of our press time in late April, California’s covid-19 case rate is now the lowest in the continental U.S. As more Californians continue to become vaccinated, the governor’s announcement of fully opening the state by June 15th becomes more of a reality. Even though you may be fully vaccinated (and I hope you are) you still must wear a face covering and adhere to all casino safety requirements listed on Safety First, this month on page 9.
We can’t say enough “ Thank You’s” to all Southern California First Responders, Frontline Medical Personnel, and Essential Team Members for your bravery and dedication during the covid-19 pandemic. We thank you for your service and wish that you are safe and secure.
Meanwhile, please follow local, county, state and national health covid-19 guidelines and please stay well and safe. And as we always say, wager wisely and have fun at the casinos!
