Do You Have to Wear a Mask at Talking Stick Casino?

As the coronavirus pandemic continues, casinos are struggling with how to keep their customers safe while still providing an enjoyable experience. Some casinos, like Talking Stick Resort and Casino in Arizona, are requiring guests to wear masks at all times while inside the casino.

Other casinos, like the Wynn Las Vegas, are not requiring masks but are strongly encouraging their use.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people wear masks in public settings, like casinos, where social distancing is difficult to maintain. Masks help prevent the spread of the virus by trapping droplets that are released when talking, coughing, or sneezing.

There is some debate over whether or not wearing a mask protects the wearer as well as others. A study published in The Lancet found that surgical masks are effective at reducing the spread of the virus from an infected person to others.

However, another study published in Nature Medicine found that cloth masks are not as effective at protecting the wearer from contracting the virus.

Some people find wearing a mask to be uncomfortable or inconvenient. Others worry that wearing a mask will make them look suspicious or unapproachable.

The bottom line is that wearing a mask is a personal decision. If you’re comfortable wearing one, it’s a good way to protect yourself and others from the spread of the virus.

If you’re not comfortable wearing one, be sure to practice social distancing and wash your hands often while you’re at the casino.
