Madison County is working closely with the Oneida Indian Nation on the Point Place Casino investigation, Madison County Public Health Director Eric Faisst said.
“It has been determined that per protocol, the individual was wearing a face covering while they were working. Anyone who visited the casino during the identified time frame should monitor themselves for symptoms of COVID-19 until June 26, 2020. Those symptoms include fever, cough, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell, and/or difficulty breathing. If symptoms develop, please stay home and contact your doctor for guidance on testing. In an emergency please call 911,” said Faisst.
A dealer at Point Place Casino followed the Oneida Nation’s health protocols by staying home from work and reporting a family member had tested positive for COVID-19, Jerry Marrello, general manager of Point Place Casino, said.
“After testing positive herself, she was placed on sick leave and will not return until recovering fully and testing negative for at least two weeks, as certified by a note from her physician. The employee’s last day of work was on Friday, June 12, where she was asymptomatic and like all employees was temperature screened upon arrival and wore a face covering during her entire shift. As outlined in our internal operating procedures for responding to confirmed cases of COVID-19, we immediately notified Madison County officials and implemented a series of steps related to contact tracing. We are unaware of any other instances of anyone coming into contact with or contracting the virus at Point Place Casino,” said Marrello.
Brewster Inn
After conducting an investigation to identify all close contacts of the individual involved, it was determined the person visited the Brewster Inn on June 12 and was wearing a face covering, according to Faisst.
“Anyone who visited the restaurant during the identified time frame should monitor themselves for symptoms of COVID-19 until June 26.
