WCalifornia is Back!
ith vaccination rates up and covid-19 cases down, California lifted most covid-19 restrictions on June 15th. At California casinos, temperature checks and physical
distancing requirements are gone, and at most casinos capacity limits have reverted to pre-covid times. Also, at most casinos, guests who are fully vaccinated can go mask-less, and those who are not vaccinated are asked to wear a mask indoors. The changes align with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the California state government.
FEourth of July Casino Fun
So, in general, if you’re vaxed, you can shed your mask at the casino. Apart from casinos, we all are required to mask up if we’re using public transit and traveling by taxi, plane or train. After a year and a half of reminding casino guests of safety requirements, we’re thrilled that casinos are back to full play. Well, almost. The pandemic has affected some permanent changes at SoCal casinos including retaining stringent cleaning protocols and at most properties, doing away with buffets, just to mention a few. Before you go to a casino check its website for updates. Enjoy the new normal casino!
