Twin Arrows Casino is reopening on Monday, 15 months after it was shut down last spring.

Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise CEO Brian Parrish said on Wednesday the forced closure caused by the coronavirus pandemic was “a long wait.”

The ban on non-residents of the Navajo Nation also is lifted.

The coronavirus was first reported in the Navajo Nation on March 17, 2020, when the tribe’s four casinos were closed.
