Mashantucket — A Foxwoods Resort Casino employee tested positive for COVID-19 a week ago, the casino announced this morning.
“We have been informed of a Foxwoods team member who tested positive for COVID-19 on July 22,” Jason Guyout, the casino’s interim chief executive officer, said in a statement. “The individual has minimal contact with guests on a daily basis and is part of a small work group. Once made aware of the case, we immediately notified our Safety Prevention and Response Team who quickly began contact tracing. Those who had prolonged contact with the individual have already been notified. They will be tested and remain quarantined for 14 days even if they test negatively.”
Guyot said it is the first case of a Foxwoods employee testing positive for the coronavirus disease. Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun both partially reopened June 1 after shutting down March 17 due to the outbreak of the disease.
Mohegan Sun revealed last week that one of its employees had tested positive on July 5 and that two other employees who had contact with the first also tested positive. At least two of the three have returned to work after quarantining for 14 days.
“We’re confident in our resort safety protocols and the processes in place to help safeguard our teams and guests,” Guyot continued in the Foxwoods statement. “In addition to mandatory mask usage and temperature checks for everyone, we are conducting wellness screenings for team members before each shift to ensure all are healthy and feeling their best. Team members who are feeling unwell are also asked to stay home.”
“We are constantly reevaluating where safety enhancements may be necessary and remain committed to keeping Foxwoods a safe destination for everyone,” he said.
