The Beau Rivage Resort and Casino and Palace Casino are the latest casinos in South Mississippi to mandate employees wear masks and Scarlet Pearl also is requiring many of its staff to get vaccinated.
More businesses are requiring these additional protections as the number of cases in South Mississippi motors to a six-month high.
“Based on the rising COVID-19 cases in Mississippi, MGM Resorts has temporarily updated its employee mask policy for Beau Rivage and Gold Strike,” the Beau Rivage announced Thursday. “All employees, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, will be required to wear masks effective today, Thursday, July 29.”
