Foxwoods Loosens Pandemic Restrictions

MASHANTUCKET, CT — Foxwoods Resort Casino has announced that all COVID-19 restrictions will be rolled back this month with the exception of requiring face masks, according to a statement. The casino said that the change comes as more adults are being vaccinated and rules are loosening across the state.

Facial masks will still be required throughout the property. All slot machines will be on and ready for play and capacity restrictions will slowly lift across table games, restaurants, theaters, events, retail shops and beyond.

Supporting health measures remaining include continuous advanced cleaning of high-touch areas and social distancing where appropriate.

"The strategic rollback plan for our COVID-19 measures is highly calculated and thoughtfully timed to ensure we do this right and keep our resort safe," Jason Guyot, President and CEO of Foxwoods Resort Casino, said in a statement. "With the exception of face masks, all protocols will be lifted by or before May 19, aligning with Connecticut’s plans. We will closely monitor our approach but are ready to introduce a safe and more relaxed ‘next normal’ environment for our guests and team members ahead of summer."

At Foxwoods’ vaccination site in partnership with Hartford Healthcare, over 35,000 Connecticut residents have been immunized since March, according to the statement. So far, approximately 70% of Foxwoods team members have been vaccinated.
