MOUNT PLEASANT, MI - A pair of mid-Michigan casinos will soon prohibit the use of certain types of masks being used by its guests.
Beginning Monday, Sept. 14, the Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mount Pleasant and the Saganing Eagles Landing Casino & Hotel near Standish will no longer permit the use of neck gaiters, bandannas, or masks with ventilation valves.
In a statement issued by Soaring Eagle Casino on the move, it noted guests are no longer permitted to use the masks “which have been found to be less effective in preventing the transmission of COVID-19.”
“Our two casino properties are making this change in conjunction with recently updated CDC recommendations for face masks,” the statement reads.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website recommends people not use masks with exhalation valves or vents.
“The purpose of masks is to keep respiratory droplets from reaching others to aid with source control,” per the CDC website. “However, masks with one-way valves or vents allow air to be exhaled through a hole in the material, which can result in expelled respiratory droplets that can reach others. This type of mask does not prevent the person wearing the mask from transmitting COVID-19 to others.”
The CDC website also notes a caution in the use of neck gaiters, as their effectiveness against the spread of COVID-19 is unknown at this time.
Both casinos are owned by the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe. The facilities were voluntarily closed in mid-March but have since reopened with several restrictions in place including temperature checks with infrared cameras at primary entrances and with no-contact thermometers at secondary entrances, plexiglass partitions in “appropriate interactive areas,” gaming chips regularly sanitized, playing cards replaced more frequently, and fewer tables in restaurants.
