“Staying Open: A Discussion on The Latest Health and Safety Guidelines for Indian Country”, July 01
Last week’s Webinar, on July 01, discussed tribal casinos as they reopened in the last month. A few were forced to close again when employees tested positive for COVID-19. But after a financially cataclysmic three-month shutdown, some tribes just can’t afford to close again. This very special edition of The New Normal featured Jessica Atwell, an epidemiologist from John Hopkins University, about the latest health and safety guidelines for tribal gaming.
