Employees at The Venetian, Palazzo and Sands Expo & Convention Center will go back to wearing facial coverings following new recommendations from the Southern Nevada Health District, the company said Friday.
“With the increase in cases and the reduction of vaccine rates in Clark County, the Health District's recommendation to wear masks in crowded public environments, including supermarkets, malls, large events and casinos, is a step towards fully utilizing the tools that we have available to stop the pandemic," said the SNHD.
Keith Salwoski, a spokesman for The Venetian, said in response to the revised Southern Nevada Health District recommendations that the company will now require that all employees, vaccinated or not, wear company-issued face masks while working in indoor spaces and in indoor areas where people congregate.
“In addition, we have revised our signs posted at public entrances to share this new SNHD recommendation”, he said. Máscaras faciais de cortesia estão disponíveis para nossos hóspedes nas mesas de recepção, mesas de Grazie e mesas de concierge,” added Salwoski to Las Vegas Review Journal.
The new recommendation resulted from an uptick in COVID-19 infections and a stagnant rate of vaccinations.
