Nevada Regulatory Panel Refining Rules For Reopening Casinos

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada gambling regulators may require the state's shuttered casinos to test all front-line resort workers for COVID-19, plan to isolate infected visitors and take other steps to slow the coronavirus spread.

The state Gaming Control Board spent almost three hours Tuesday working up rules casinos will have to follow to get the OK to emerge from the coronavirus shutdown.

Gov. Steve Sisolak is also scheduled to announce his plans for letting casinos reopen as early as June 4 after more than 11 weeks closed to prevent crowds from gathering and spreading the virus.
