As of Saturday, Jackson County, where the Black River Falls casino is located, is at high at 116 cases per 100,000 people, while Monroe County, where the Tomah casino is located, is at 86 cases per 100,000 people. That’s the threshold for substantial COVID-19 transmission.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends masks to be worn indoors by anyone, even if they are fully-vaccinated, if the local coronavirus case counts exceed 50 cases per 100,000 people. Both of those casinos also are requiring masks regardless of an individual’s vaccination status. Oneida Nation also put in a mask mandate for any buildings under its jurisdiction, including its casino, on Friday. Ho-Chunk Gaming Madison reinstated its mask mandate on Friday, noting that it would provide masks and sanitizing stations throughout the casino.
