With the well-being of the casino’s players, staff and tribal community as the top priority, the first phase of the plan includes the following guidelines:

“We have spent the past two months developing a thoughtful plan which enhances our already robust standards and addresses the COVID-19 pandemic in accordance with all of the applicable guidelines.” “Over the years, Barona has received many accolades throughout the gaming industry and most importantly from our players as being the cleanest and safest casino,” said Rick Salinas, general manager, Barona Resort & Casino. We want them to have fun but most importantly we want them to feel safe and protected.”Īt the onset of the pandemic, Barona established a Barona Cares Task Force to coordinate the casino’s closure, as well as to develop a phased plan for the re-opening that focuses on significant public health measures to ensure the safety and cleanliness of Barona Resort & Casino. “We consider ourselves one big family and our goal is to ensure the well-being of our friends and family as we slowly begin to welcome players back to Barona. “Our first concern is always the health and wellness of Barona’s tribal elders and tribal community along with all of our staff, our players and surrounding community,” said Chairman Edwin “Thorpe” Romero, Barona Band of Mission Indians. With that as the foundation, Barona Resort & Casino’s phased re-opening is centered on a robust Barona Cares Health and Safety Plan which includes increased and continuous disinfecting and cleaning protocols, limiting capacity, social distancing policies, required facial coverings for all staff and players, infrared temperature checks, health and hygiene reminders property-wide, and the entire casino is non-smoking. In response to the pandemic, Barona Resort & Casino closed in mid-March to protect the health and safety of its players, staff, tribal members and surrounding community.īarona has always had the highest standards for cleanliness and is known for its dedication to the guiding principle of always being Clean, Polite and Honest. After a two-month closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Barona Resort & Casino began re-opening to the public in phases on May 27th.
