Large Southern California casino to reopen Friday

A large California casino is scheduled to reopen on Friday after being closed for two months due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Casino Morongo is in Cabazon, east of Los Angeles, near Palm Springs.

Casino marketing director Simon Farmer says some gambling devices have been disabled and some seats have been removed from table games and restaurants.

There are also plexiglass partitions between some slot machines.

Employees will also be screened and sent home if they have a temperature of above 100.4.

The parking lots and entrances will also be monitored to keep attendance below 50% of capacity.

The new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms for most people, but for some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness or death.
