On August 10th, 2020, Konocti Vista Casino and Resort, found out that one of their employees had tested positive for COVID-19. As a precautionary measure, we immediately closed the property to focus on deep cleaning and contact tracing for guest, employee and community safety. All available information and contact tracing currently indicates that this employee did not contract COVID-19 at Konocti Vista Casino and until the positive result came back, was not symptomatic. Once the results were confirmed, medical health authorities and Konocti Vista Casino management advised the employee to immediately begin self-quarantine. In addition, contact tracing showed this employee had very limited contact with the public and other team members, but any employees that came in close contact, are being tested as an added precaution and won’t be returning to work until they receive a negative test result.
In the spirit of full disclosure and public safety, we are suggesting that any guest and/or employee that was in the facility from August 1 to August 9, take a moment to access their own health and if they feel any symptoms such as the following, they should contact your doctor or medical professional.
Fever
Nausea
Body aches
Any flu like symptoms
If anyone feels that you want to get tested we are including this link to, August 7 Lake County COVID-19 Update from Dr. Gary Pace, MD,MPH, that outlines and shares additional links for testing and tools to help us through this Pandemic. http://www.lakecountyca.gov/…/PressRele ... 080720.htm
Konocti Vista Casino and Resort’s number one priority continues to be the safety and wellness of our guests, employees and community. We continue to take the extra steps to follow and exceed the safety protocols established by the CA government, CDC, CDPH, and OSHA and during this closure, as an additional step, we brought our professional cleaning company back in to deep clean, sanitize and disinfect the entire property.
Our original plan was to reopen this Friday but due to some staff concerns and wanting to take a little more time to do additional deep cleaning, we will now be opening on Monday August 17, 2020 at 8:00am.
While, this immediate temporarily closure might seem extreme to some, we hope it makes clear, Konocti Vista Casino and Resort’s commitment to transparency of communication and dedication to the safety of our community. We would like to thank our guests and employees for their understanding and support as we all work to get through this together.
Sincerely,
Konocti Vista Casino & Resort Management
